Well I’ve raised it in other threads that people who expect violent conflict should prepare by familiarizing themselves with firearms, buying them, and training survival skills. But people are afraid. The idea was argued into the ground.
People don’t want to believe, or those that do, don’t think they cant do anything. I’d like to believe that there’s enough checks and balances to deal with any attempts of demolishing democracy. I have a hard time believing that generals, or even troops in general would turn their guns inward. They signed up to defend democracy and freedom on behalf of their countrymen. Not destroy it and kill them.
But at the same time, I just don’t know. Most are too lazy and complacent to try and organize. When I’ve tried people shrug. The people think they want what Trump is selling.
Either way, I’d say prepare yourself. That way, if things do organize, you’re ready. I’ve been ready just for fun, not for anti-fascism purposes. I like hunting and living off the land when I can. Turns out they’re useful skills in situations that may unfold. We shall see.
Isn’t voting a way to participate? Is there a way to semi-lock the community instead so random drifters don’t come in a vote bomb?
