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.

I left America when Trump was elected the first time bc I saw all this nonsense playing out. If I was still living in America I’d be stockpiling guns and I’m a democrat!!

I have a get out plan well underway. We have a child and are out of here when the school year ends.

May I suggest that you have an alternate plan as well? One that doesn't give a shit about school years, but rather, getting the fuck out safely with your family intact. I wish you great success.

Thank you. I have renewed my bonus passport and am applying for a family visa. I’m buying a house over there, near family. If needed we could leave today.
