    When trump won in 2016 I told all my trans friends to buy guns and bought them books about starting mutual aid/defense networks, explaining to them the democratic party soon would abandon them.

    They were all still pretty liberal and were still very antigun. A lot of them thought I was losing it at the time. Since then I’ve taken most of them to the gun range to teach them how to shoot.

      You’re a good friend. Hope the mutual aid is going well, it’s a less exciting day than the gun range maybe - but that’s going to be a big deal sooner or later.

        Yeah, unfortunately we live in one of the most conservative states in the US, so if something were to happen to them calling the police wouldn’t exactly be a great option. If all the bigots are strapped up there really isn’t any other option than to arm yourself to protect your community.
