      Yep. Arm up, stockpile supplies, get in shape.

      And think about your Red Lines. I have 2. I have family who belong to vulnerable groups who are particularly hated and targeted by MAGA, and if anything were to happen to them, I would have nothing left to lose, and I will become very dangerous.

      My second Red Line is if they use ANY excuse to cancel/suspend elections. This country has NEVER cancelled an election, not even during the Civil War. If elections are cancelled or suspended, that is OFFICIALLY the end of the United States. At that point, I do not recognize any laws or any sovereignty by the MAGA government. I will not pay taxes, I will steal everything I can my hands on, I will vandalize any MAGA property, and if it gets hot, and gunfire erupts, I’m ready mentally, and I’ve been an excellent shot my entire life.

      As an older person, I have had the revelation that the end of my life will probably include a twist ending that I never anticipated until now, and I have accepted that. In fact, I now think that dying peacefully in my bed as an old man, while America becomes Nazi, would be waste. I’d rather my death accomplish something.

      Other Red Lines are starting to form in my mind as well.

      I’m a double stroke victim. I can barely walk without a cane.

      My job isn’t to punch nazis, my job is to tell the nazi-punchers what squares to stand on, and what the nazis’ weaknesses are (hint: it’s bullets).
