    Trans folks, get your guns while you can. They might be the difference between freedom or going to RFK’s “wellness” farms. As an autistic who will someday be targeted, I intend to stand on the line of battle with you.

      Having a gun will not protect you from the military, which is now our enemy.

      There is only the option to run and I encourage trans people to begin executing those plans I know you’ve been making to get to higher ground. Pool your resources, go together, support each other.

        To not fight is compliance in advance, which is a great source of power and comfort for fascism.

        Further, it isn’t likely for the whole of the American military to be aligned with the Trump Regime. Odds are that we will have a civil war - and one side will have minorities serving, many of whom are competent people who have been exiled by the Trump Regime from all sectors of government: Military, intelligence, bureaucratic, and more. Already, the west coast Blue States are forming their own vaccine coalition to replace the loss of Federal services. That is the sign of an upcoming secession, as the Blue States form mutual services that are not dependent on the support of the Trump Regime.

        Aside from all of that, America historically had difficulty against guerillas, whom tend to have small arms and communities. Freedom fighters within America’s borders are likely to be even more successful than their foreign peers, simply because ICE would run the risk of turning entire cities or states against the government. Foreign guerillas couldn’t quickly influence the politics of America much, because they aren’t American nor close to home.
