      It is unironically a good time for people concerned about being persecuted to buy a firearm, learn how to use it, and make a real, meaningful contingency and escape plan if things truly do go to shit (ideally, try to make at least a couple, as you do not want a single point of failure).

      I live in Boston, a “safe blue” city. I arrived at this decision when a couple hundred neo-Nazis started marching around Copley square and back bay a couple years ago. The cops were conspicuously “absent” (read: I’d bet money some of the cops were marching with the neonazis). There are more than a few videos recording indefensibly chummy interactions between uniformed officers and proud boys / 3%ers / other fascist and supremacist groups over the last 8 or so years. Also, NSC 131 (neo-Nazi group which operates out of eastern MA) will come down and hang fascist white supremacist shit off the bridge that goes from the city to the Charles River waterfront over Storrow.
