What can I do to be safe
If things get crazy?
I'm disabled from psych issues, diabetic I am trans/nonbinary
Live in hudhousing..
I feel like I havea target on my back I am almost everything they hate in 1 package. And I defend people attacked by bullies as they escape. Because my consience wont let me be a bystander. I swore that I would not stand by twiddling my thumbs if they needed help.
If these rightwing trash decide to over run where I live to harass,threaten or kill people here what can I do?
Should I make a bug out bag? And grab Othello ? I dont drive. So what is the best way to handle this sort of shit and not have another psychotic episode?
Maybe a forum can be put up on DU to help people and share important things to do in case of rabid fascist takeover..
Because not everybody can flee the country.

(5,275 posts)I dont know but I know this Canada is paying attention to what may happen here.
I searched emigrating to Canada about a year ago and they seemed to be more than open to that.
Just looked again a few days ago and now they will have someone there to assist you.
November 2022 may be the decision indicator for more than a few of us. The plus is that most of Canada speaks English. Of course all of Scandinavia does too I believe.....they learn in school their language, English, and a third language, French, German, whatever.
Its London, Ontario for me if it goes really south here. Hope it doesnt.

Please consider non drivers will need help or help fleeing.

I would start by distancing yourself from whoever is telling you this stuff might actually happen.
Look, these people are a problem and will remain a problem for some time until we can out-vote them, but I don't think you have to worry about the scenario you are describing.
Stay away from their MAGA screed rallies and you won't have anything to be concerned with.

(12,480 posts)If I even get a whiff of maga I change channels or toss out whatever I'm reading ,click my way away from that toxic bullshit.
But
Magats and thier buddies 3%ers proud boys or any of thier kin.
Are terrorists.
They are itching to "use the guns"
I know of skinheads in my area,seen racist bikers cruise through this complex. They are here,they hate and they are out there if tfg gives them"permission" touse the guns,disabled people and political dissedents were killed first by hitler.
I have so many things about me they would try to terrorize,and terrorize my complex there is a lot of people here these maga pieces of shit hate.
I feel protective over all the people here.
Its not just for myself I am wary for.

(14,004 posts)if youre truly worried, maybe you should buy a gun and learn how to shoot it. I dont advocate violence but maybe it would give you a little peace of mind.

(12,480 posts)I cannot see well enough to shoot. Last time I used a gun it was my cousins and it took me almost a half hour to hit an iron pan stuck to a tree in the middle of nowhere. I kept moving closer but I still missed. I fear I would hit a lot of innocent people. Before I actually would hit a perp.
Also I have depression and trauma history,If anything is dangerous a gun would not bethe best thing for me to have.
