    I have come to the realization that dying in my sleep of old age would be a waste. I believe that my life may have an unexpected twist ending, and I’m good with that.

    I have certain Red Lines that will not be crossed. The most important are certain people whom I love, who belong to demographic groups that are particularly despised by MAGA. If anything were to happen to them, I would have nothing left to lose, and I would become a very dangerous individual.

    I believe I am not alone in this feeling.

        I’m waiting for a moment that I hope never comes. But in the meantime, I’m preparing myself mentally and physically, and I am gathering supplies.

        I’m still hoping that the Midterms alter the power structure and puts up some insurmountable roadblocks, and eventually we can find our way clear of this mess. Unfortunately, I think their response to that will be an enormous increase in violence against citizens, which will require violence in return to stop them.
