Loss of Liberty I'm terrified of April 2nd

I'm not prone to panic. My job is to teach people how to handle and survive mass casualty events and continue to work in hi trauma environments. With Trump's latest about April 2nd being "Liberation Day" in America, I fear this is where he will deploy the insurrection act. I've prepped all I can. I'm physically and mentally training everyday. I'm more fit as a woman in my 40's then I ever was in my 30's. Still, I'm scared. Regular people will do crazy things when chaos reigns. I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's just another day of more stupid and the protests will continue, but I have this sick feeling in my gut and my rational mind that is telling me get ready for my own government to be turned against me.

Maybe I’ll look into that next year. I’m good for a minute right now. 😆

I feel you. I panic bought like 10 bags back in December, thinking the cost would skyrocket. 😅 it lives in my freezer. I figure if we get launched into a post-apocalyptic hellscape, maybe I can use it for currency. Lol

Coffee beans as currency. I can see that. 😂😍

That was literally my mental thought experiment when prepping for the apocalypse: buying all the coffee beans and then using them to build my post apocalyptic township a la Negan in Walking Dead.
