I do. I've joined a collective of armed leftists. I was legit surprised that they existed.
If you own a gun, and you conceal carry, consider finding your local group and get involved.
And stay quiet. They all think that only they have the guns, and they think we're all going to just get on our knees, and politely take the bullet in the brain. And frankly, a lot will.
But a lot of us are also going to fight back, and that will be a big surprise to them. An even bigger surprise is that when it kicks off, they will discover that the lefty shooters are MUCH better shots than MAGAs, who only own guns to convince others that they don't have a micropenis.
You guys need more of you. I know many of the left are armed down there and not showing off their "stashes" but the great majority I have seen do not seem left leaning (red hats, snake flags, etc, seem to often be present in the pictures). Hoping you guys get this under control
I've said this in other comments but bares repeating: we have a lot of people willing to fight for democracy, but very few people willing to die for it.
I won't share anything specific on what the group does (or doesn't do) but the biggest thing that anyone within the US can do right now is to get politically involved, especially if you are white and cis.
You can do all of those things anonymously if you fear for your own safety. But get involved. I've done all of those things I listed above and I can tell you that the needs are huge. The more you make yourself known, the more people will trust you and you will be come part of the resistance.
I mean, that's exactly how the partisans groups worked in Italy while it was occupied by Nazis.
Good luck to you comrades!
