With Trump off the board now, barring some insane last minute victory, it looks like we face a President Harris timeline.
I shouldn't need to explain why that's the worst possible outcome, but I will anyway. She will use the power and resources of the United States to push the "future is female" agenda worldwide and crush their opponents both domestic and foreign.
Do we just lie low and hope to blend in? There's nowhere to go and nothing to stand behind.
I'm just going to lie low right now. I've got the benefit of not living in a total leftist shithole and I've never really had any raging leftist friends for the most part because I never had anything in common with them anyway.
Last year was a wake up call for a lot of things for me. I'd fallen into a bit too much of a happy rut, with tech things, life things, etc. I was too much of a participant in places where the only outcome was to agitate myself. I'd already started to nix some of this in 2019, when I went totally scorched earth on all Reddit gaming subs. Outside life, I was way too caught up in sports (albeit I was never into NFL and NBA) and was way too happy go lucky about all my grandiose travel plans. All 2020 did was force me to evaluate how I go about those things, cut some out entirely, and be more cautious with others. I'm almost totally out of big tech dependency now (at least as much as I can). I'm pivoting a lot of entertainment away from reliance on things like services and more towards things I control. Essentially, I'm making my own happiness self-sufficient. Sure, that may all go to shit if the world falls off a cliff because it's just for fun, but I think maintaining a good mental state is important too. I've already got a decent amount of life-sustaining fallbacks in place and looking to improve. If everything ever totally goes as far as like entire shit farm hits the fan, well I will just have to fall back on grabbing my toolbox and hoping someone will trade my mechanical skills for something to eat. Get much further than that and well I'm totally screwed, but I'm pretty certain if the world gets that far all the leftists would already be dead and we're left with the much more reasonable survivors or I'd have been shot decades ago for refusing to go on the train car.
Do I think there's some sort of revolution or uprising coming? Well, maybe. I think we are years away from any such uprising that actually leads to government changes I'd like to see. If the right time comes I'm willing to take risk to defend the freedoms I want, that doesn't mean going out way too early and solo so I can be a bloodstain for the propaganda ministry to smear and then fade away. Timing is everything, and at the moment I think the time is not near. Could that change tomorrow? Sure, but I can only work with what information I have in hand now.
