The autocratic dictatorship is imminent and I don't have a current passport. Not sure what the future holds.

Arm up, particularly a pistol, apply for CCW. The right will continue their stochastic violence and seemingly random mass shootings, targeting poc and lgbtq. Go vote for gun control absolutely, but your votes not gonna save you when someone storms a mall and starts spraying because they're part of a violent cult. I promise you the right already has their guns, they've been passing them down to their kids too. The most strict gun control even if enacted tomorrow won't dis-arm these would be shooters. You'll have to wait for those effects to happen over a longer period of time.

A vast majority of Democrat representatives live out their lives without getting killed by MAGA crazies. I think most of them though are willing to take that risk for what they believe in. Do you believe in something greater than yourself that would prompt you to take that risk?
