I know I mentioned reacting with violence, but I’m at a crossroads. I’m in a red state. Do we put our heads down and wait for an organized resistance? Do we go blasting? Thing with violence is, it affects more than the intended people. If I were to actually fight against the forces that be, they would also go after my family. Everyone around me seems to think guns and blasting away…but violence definitely has a consequence.
I’m also drunk rn and don’t know what else can calm my nerves for this timeline. The only thing that brings me hope is being a community organizer and seeing the hope in peoples faces. I’m doing the most I can in a non-violent way. I’m scared when I have to make that decision to change the course.
What don’t understand is- if the US “left” is so committed to non-violence, why have we not seen a tech-rebellion? Why is there no cyber-“terrorism” or white hat hackers fighting this shit? Democrats have spent the last four decades loudly and proudly insisting that they’re smarter than the ignorant conservatives- so why aren’t they hard at work at outsmarting them?
Without that last resort, violence is going to have to be what it comes down to.
Because that would be “protesting the wrong way.” The left is obsessed with decorum, and most people seem to think that if we get enough people holding signs on street corners, then they’ll have to stop the slide into fascism.

Do you believe that because the disappeared people didn’t fight back their families are safe?

I can’t remember how many signs on street corners it took to stop Hitler. I think it was a lot, though.
Totally understand, but violence dose have consequences to those you love. That’s why I’m at a crossroads.
