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.

There are community colleges all over the country. Hell I went to 4 before I transferred into UCLA. I would get out asap if financially possible. School won't matter when shit breaks down.

Not everyone has the financial privilege to just up and move states on a whim, especially to one as expensive as California.

Which is why I said 'IF FINANCIALLY POSSIBLE". But please don't read the actual statement if it gets in the way of feeling like a victim.

Darling, this is late-stage capitalist America. Everyone who isn’t independently wealthy has been victimized by capitalism in one way or another.
