I'm in a red state in one of the reddest counties. I cant manage anything here, pretty sure I'll get shot if I try

The one thing to remember is that, while the chances are never zero, people are standing up against Fascism in red states, and they aren't getting shot for doing it. Joining them makes us all stronger.

You decide what falls in or out of your comfort levels, but be wary of inventing excuses for inaction. If you think you are at risk of being murdered by your community, fight like hell because it may become legal soon enough.

If you fight for what's right today, you'll probably survive, but if fascism takes over millions won't, and you still might be one of the victims.
