The good news is..if you stay out of lib cities you can still mostly live a peaceful existence.
Back in the 70’s I lived close to Wash U.
The city was not yet crazy... I could walk or ride my bike to school..it would NOT be safe now :-/
The McCloskey’s home was close by, you know the couple who got in trouble for brandishing weapons against a BLM mob...it was sort of a distressed mansion that had gone to seed then..
