    Get organized, join a Leftist party. Strength in numbers, protection. Consider getting a firearm if that helps (but practice extreme gun saftey, of course).

      Can’t get a firearm with a medical marijuana card in my state. My home is incredibly secure, though, and I’m in a very blue area.

      I do need to get more active with Democratic organizations in my area, you’re right.

        That’s fair! You can probably grab a tazer or pepper spray, which would help a lot.

        Democratic meaning the process, or the party? The DNC isn’t helping much when it comes to resisting fascism, more sleepwalking into it.

        By Federal law you’re a prohibited person (can’t buy a gun) just for MJ use, even if it’s legal in your state. It’s a bad law that Dems also want to keep in place because their platform is to use whatever tools necessary to disarm as many people as possible.
