Thanks for the effort post with great tips!

I would also really recommend having a physical community near you, not just online contacts.

I would even go so far as to say: join a progressive protestant church It’s not a silver bullet, but the fascists in the US are Christian Nationalists and some of them will hesitate to mistreat a Christian. And some of them will feel an obligation towards a Christian.

This is a big part of why Martin Luther King wasn’t killed earlier. The thugs in the 50s had no problem persecuting “godless heathens” in the McCarthy era, but black Christians were Christians.

And yes, they were also mistreated, but it would have been much worse if they had been atheist or communist.

Fascists divide the world very black and white. Us v. Them

Looking like them provides a survival advantage.

I don’t believe that. They don’t regard non-fundies as being Christians.

  And how will they know if you’re a fundie or not?
  
  What they’re doing is checking phones and social media. If they see you are a member of some antifa or BLM org, they’ll get you.
  
  So don’t do those things via Facebook. Use meshtastic and hide your receiver.
  
  But if you practice good OpSec and all they see is baseball, BBQ and church, then they won’t be able to tell the difference.
