What even becomes of us now? What recourse do we have?

What’s going to happen to us?

Are we going to die?

    You know full well this is bullshit advice. I can’t murder someone and most people can’t do it, let alone flee and evade a militarized force with an ungodly budget.

      They’re saying this to get you to be able to protect yourself against civilian-led acts of violence. The danger doesn’t just come from the trump gov, but also its electorate.

      If you think you’ll have to fight the government itself, you either need to join a vast armed resistance movement, or flee

        ^ this. It’s not actual militias to worry about, it’s the KKK, the lynch mobs, the drunken parties that get out of hand, the Jan 6 rioters

        The danger is what becomes considered “acceptable”.

        Fuck this is going to be a miserable decade+… I already thought i was a bit paranoid, I really didn’t need to feed it.

          I mean, if you’d rather be suicidally pacifistic that’s up to you, but the undeniable fact is that it’s not exactly a great individual strategy.

      I think the intended thought isn’t necessarily “winning” but rather, “if you’re going down, go down swinging”. I’m not sure that I’m that pessimistic but, I’m certainly not optimistic at the moment.
