The thing is, as a straight white middle-aged natural born citizen, there's only one reason for the feds to ever kick in my door, and if that happens my life as a free man is over anyway. You fucking bet I'm taking as many of them with me as possible.

    There is an Instagram trend (I'm told, I don't browse) of people showing off the #nastiestangle

    Spots in their homes or apartments they can get clean shots off at the door while remaining virtually invisible or well protected.

    Please, for the love of god, do not post anything even remotely related to this on social media tied to you publicly. Your name, email, phone number, address, etc. will all be collected and recorded for when someone drops the charade and goes after dissidents.

    When they come for your guns they will absolutely have a response to this. They know many people would rather die. They will kill you no matter what, but now what if they punish your family? What if they seize all of your assets and those of your nearest family? What if they financially ruin your loved ones after you die? Are you going to protect your weapons at the risk of hurting those you love? I'll bet most don't. What if they threaten to arrest your parents and send them to a labor camp?

    When "they" are no longer subject to being voted out of office there is no longer any reason not to use maximum force to compel compliance for anything. They are showing us what they will do to those they deem to have no constitutional rights. Next anyone who protests will be labeled a terrorist and arrested. Anyone who fails to comply will be a terrorist. Anyone who is registered Democrat will be classified as an enemy of the state.

    You will be bent into submission because you have weaknesses that they do not. Rattle your cage all you want. Dictators ALWAYS disarm the population.

    Well then, guess you should just keep your head down and submit. All this "2nd amendment" and "don't tread on me" talk was nothing but bluster. Maybe someone else will come invade the US to introduce democracy for you.

    You're still not getting it. This is a US government coup. They're not following laws or the Constitution because they arent the US government. It's the fucking Confederacy again.
