In truth, I am an over-weight loudmouth. Guilty as charged.
Also nearly 50. And bald. With minor health issues, mostly due to being a lard ass computer nerd. (Ok, so I'm not MASSIVELY overweight. But I am technically "Obese".)
But over the last few months I have been quietly preparing for war. It's scary, honestly. Makes my GERD act up something fierce sitting and thinking about having to actually fight in a civil war.
Also, there is the fact that no, I don't actually have a fucking clue how to go about doing this. I have no military or police experience and I'm not in a militia. I haven't "trained" a day for this beyond spending a few hours every few months at a target range shooting holes in paper targets. I am a fair shot, but no sharpshooter. Hardly a ringing endorsement for a warrior.
I originally built my AR because I wanted a self-defense option for my home that would also allow me to do some hunting and wasn't a shotgun. (Yes, Built. I bought a kit. My first firearm and I built it myself. I guess I have that going for me. I know my weapon inside and out and regularly field strip and clean it just because it is enjoyable to do.) Now I have it kitted out with a LPVO and a 2-1 convertible sling and I bought freaking level 4 composite body armor (damn that shit is HEAVY!) and mag pouches for the vest and on and on with gear I barely know how to use.
But, despite my physical insufficiency, I am mentally preparing anyway. Not because I WANT to go to war. But because I fear I will NEED to go to war, just to preserve some kind of a future for my children.
What I am lacking is direction. Right now I just have unfocused frustration and preparation. I don't know what to do or where to go, I just feel a need to do "something". If I could get connected with a group that could offer advice, I could do something more useful. Maybe make plans to meet up if certain events start to happen or based on a call from some kind of leadership.
What I REALLY don't want is to join up with a group that wants to just go out and start shooting shit up randomly. That's not only unhelpful it's dangerous and frankly immoral. I want to be part of an organized and focused effort to preserve the Union and Liberty. If it comes down to having to shoot, then shoot I will. But before then I want to exhaust all other peaceful options.
Not sure where that places me on the Pede spectrum, but there it is.
Because these pedes are LARPING over-weight loud mouths who don’t bother showing up.

Same. What do I do? 44. Female. Graphic designer. In the middle of a blue state. Can't afford to fly across the country and protest.
