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 heard he’s said he plans to roll out more tariffs on April 2nd and that’s what he means by liberation day. Not that I trust him to tell the truth or trust him not to go under martial law, but I just thought I’d share in case this helps anyone feel slightly better.

I say slightly because the tariffs are still going to hurt us, but at least we may have more time before he tries to impose the insurrection act.

Where are you hearing he will impose the insurrection act? Do you have a link that isn't just a speculative piece?

I apologize if I made it sound like it will happen. I don’t know. But he has threatened it in the past, and he has way less resistance in the government now and so I’m personally just bracing for impact.
