The problem is that the military, including the National Guard, is stacked with right-wingers, so more accurately it would be those right-wing vets using army equipment to go door to door and shoot any LGBTQ+ or Black person they could find. And Hispanic, given how deeply anti-immigration they are. They already run 13 concentration camps all over the southern border. There's one here in Florida, out by the Everglades.

Which is why I worry so much about this. So many people dismiss it as a problem because they either don't know or deny the reality of the situation, and even I really don't want to believe it. Yet it's unfolding.

That being said, Florida is arguably one of the "safer" places to be in as we've been largely insulated from the political unrest that's transpired over the past few years, especially because of covid and the BLM uprising. That's largely DeSantis's doing because he was the first Republican to say no to the lockdowns, and that's what helped him rise to power. This shit going on the past year is a perfect example of the leopards eating the left's faces what with DeSantis campaigning to run for president... though thankfully, it's looking like his campaign isn't doing well. What a fucking fascist dumbass. He's such a fucking embarrassment. 🤦

I also don't want to think about what kind of a fascist shithole my city would turn into if the National Guard did forcibly lock it down to prevent a civil war. I'd take the civil war over the tyranny, honestly. At least with the civil war, you'd sort of have freedom of movement. The National Guard taking over would be the lockdowns all over again, which goes completely against the values of our state.

🤔 Given that... I suppose I actually should figure out some way to sneak out of the city under cover of darkness, or something. To get away from that. Has anyone here considered a way to do such a thing?
