I’m feeling so uneasy with everything I’ve been seeing. I keep thinking about what we will be this time next year, and if shit hits the fan, what is your plan? I’m queer and was politically active in 2020, so I would potentially be considered a political enemy.

The only blueprint I can think of is what you do in an active shooter situation; Flee, Hide, Fight.

I know there’s that romantic notion of “don’t be a coward, get out and protest”, but I remember the brutality of the 2020 protests firsthand, and even then I thought “thank god I’m going toe to toe with the CPD and not the CCP”. Next time is going to be different. The president now has authority to send drone strikes. Protests and riots don’t stand a chance agains missiles and live rounds.

Flee- I have an Uncle in Montreal who my family could potentially use as a way to at least temporarily escape the chaos. The hope I’d have is that Canada and other countries would accept American refugees, however that’s not a guarantee.

Hide- If borders are closed, lay low and move away from major cities if possible. If civil war breaks out, try to get away from the violence even if you think your side will win. Todays losers may be tomorrows victors.

Fight- If cellular data/ social media algorithms can keep track of you, and surveillance can make sure there’s no movement, this would be the last resort of desperation. I guess if possible try to either find a group for safety in numbers, or conversely go guerrilla as groups of resistance would make easy targets.

Sorry my mind is running and I’m getting scared.

    So if you put trumps picture next to things he hasnt said he is going to do then it makes it true? If you have a list of actual things he says he will do that is one thing, but making up propaganda is stupid. And even if he says he will do something it in no way means he is going to do something.

      You are the perfect trump rep here - keep it up, bud. Everyone definitely understands your babbling mass of text and claps whenever you post.

                Well, its against the 5th(?) amendment that you have to be forced to admit to crimes. And I dont even know how we are supposed to measure if someone is actually a drug addict and where in federal law they cant have guns.

                  We’re waiting, man… trump says biden wants to abort children after they are born, “10 months even… Some are saying” Start there, defend that bullshit artist. Go ahead, embarrass yourself
