If you actually believed this sky is falling bullshit you’d be doing a hell of a lot more than voting. Do you even own a gun? lol
EDIT sorry don’t answer that. What I mean I, I doubt you own a gun because you do not believe you’d ever need one, because you do not believe fascism is actually coming. This is all rhetoric.
Fuck ya’d have a better chance doing random acts of terrorism that put the fucken IRA to shame. Still probably end up in a ditch but you could probably kill some of the ones trying to kill you.
We don’t talk about that on Lemmy.
Im a Redneck, course I own a fucken gun. But heres the thing the Republicans are a party of fucken fascists, even if they dont get as bad as I suspect theyll still most likely use the police to gun down protesters and strikers. I just aint an idiot who assumes shit will work out, so I take every fucken step I can to keep the worst from happening. “Prepare for war hope for peace” is a pretty solid summary of alot of my philosophy.
I assume for the worst and the worst involves concentration camps, firing lines, and the destruction of civil liberties. Sure ya can probably take out the local police with an ad hoc militia, but can ya take out say an SS or SA equivalent? What about the National guard or the military itself? Cause my rough guess is that the corruption would take about ten years minimum to destroy the professionalism and tech advantage of the US military.
Voting costs nothing and depending on where one lives can have an outsized impact.
