Things are going to be very very rough. People claim they are American patriots during good times, but will people claim that they are American patriots during bad times?
The silver lining in all of this is that my generation will be forged in the great fire. We will be subjected to the hardest pressures this earth can produce. Just so happens that these adversaries are where heroes and legends are born. America needs us to have strength. The greater the challenge, the harder our resolve. When I die, I will die happy because I fought for something righteous.
Do not despair, do not give up. It's time we relive the true American struggle our forefathers went through.
They are telling us what's coming. We've heard it multiple times: "right wing domestic terrorism is the country's biggest threat." They aren't joking. Look at how the Capitol protest is being portrayed. The "vetting" of national guardsmen in DC to weed out wrongthinkers. The calls for a "domestic intelligence agency" aka a secret police. In the next few months expect the rhetoric to get worse and for a flurry of bills and executive orders intended to target us. For those of us that are white and male in addition to holding right wing beliefs, we'll also get an extra helping. This will be done with the coordination of government, the private sector, individuals, and foreign actors. Likely many of us will have members of our family, our friends, and coworkers betray and ostracize us. All this with the knowledge that we have little chance of standing up for ourselves through the normal avenues of government. The lesson of the past four years and 2020 in particular is that elections are fraudulent and that every level of the justice system from law enforcement to prosecutors to judges are biased and corrupt.
All this means one thing: we are insurgents whether we like it not. So maybe think about doing things that might prepare you for that role. And no this doesn't mean you should build bombs, engage in violence, or take part in any illegal activity. I'm specifically disavowing such actions. Though, taking classes that will teach you the skills to defend yourself and your family lawfully are greatly recommended.
It does mean you should be building up contacts and networks, preferably local. As well as learning about tradescraft, secure communications, opsec, infosec, how law enforcement and intelligence agencies work, how insurgencies and counter-insurgencies work, etc. Also, reducing reliance on goods and services provided by large corporations, saving money, getting in shape, developing useful skills, stockpiling food and essentials, etc.
We can't stop what's happening. All we can do is maximize our ability to withstand it.

They are going to treat us like terrorists.

Don't forget: We can overcome. We can fight it.
Insurgents that don't partake in violence...this can't end well with that attitude.
So.....are you advocating violence?
