“I joined the Modern Militia Movement to connect specifically with people in my area,”
I really think that is the only answer. The rule of law is dead, we can’t depend on cops (though no fault of their own) to defend us.
We’re on our own. Better organize in strong ,tightly knit, disciplined groups ready to defend our interests and even go on the offensive if we must.
“A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
If it was just me I would look for a single-wide trailer not near a city, with a decent generator and in-window air conditioner. I would go as minimalist as possible. My new hobby would be the pursuit of health and fitness, and every night I would smile as I observed those who destroyed the nation get their comeuppance.
Maybe this wouldn't work, but it's the best I can think of.
Listening to the miserable fate of these communist foot soldiers who brought all this about would probably give me a reason to smile a bit.
I'm not too worried about myself, but I am worried about my sons, who are only now starting their careers. Maybe I could find a plot of land big enough for them to plant their own trailers alongside?
