Other safe if republicans plunge our country into fascism?
What about gblt,poor people,people with disabilities,old people and any other vulnerable population I didn't list.
I dont want to be murdered by fascists.
I am scared for anyone in a minority or vulnerable population will be imprisoned,threatened,forced to go to church indoctrination,tortured who the fuck knows what else.
There are many of us that don't have the luxury to go to another country.
We will be stuck here. Anyone going to help the less than rich,without perfect bodies ect. Survive? Because as virulent as these fascists are that might start happening frightenly fast.
If there is no plan maybe time to start thinking of one.

(7,626 posts)in a rural area outside of Austin that is primarily ranchers and they are extreme Trumpers. Guns are the most common sound in our area. After I retired I walked about 8 miles everyday and more than one time I have had trucks veer over to the wrong side of the road and almost brush me off the road.
We've decided that our best bet is to be low profile and avoid attracting attention to ourselves in any way. Kind of sad because it would be nice to know some people of like mind....but it is what it is.

(5,551 posts)I was shocked. He is the quiet, thinker type and I always pay attention to his deep thoughts. Yesterday he said we should re-up our expired passports. He checked it out and it will cost $260 for the two of us. He said without them we would be able to go NOWHERE. He was a survival trainer in the Air Force back in the day. Cool head and smart guy and the wheels are always turning quietly. WOW. Can't believe this is happening in my country. Just wow.

The only way they will be able to take over the country is if the majority allows it.

(5,172 posts)Two years ago...they are no longer. Only the real disturbed have anything fascist. To be honest there are not many people willing to have a Republican sign in there yard.
My county went for rump the first time by like 85%.
The second time like 60%.
Now, I see a few holdouts and those are the ones that put Jesus on orange construction cones around their property.
I feel optimistic, but my problem is these red fascist states attacking our Constitution by eliminating the purpose of voting by being able to throw out their vote and change it.
