Looking to build network across Mohave County with Non MAGA Compatriots
With things looking darker by the day it's become clear that we are not going back to "normal" anytime soon. History shows us that the folks who survived and thrived in hard times had networks with varied skills and resources.
Hopefully such a group already exists and I can just join in but I'm looking for non MAGA folks interested in getting together semi regularly to share and practice skills such as:
Firearm safety and skills,Orienteering,Data security,Trade and barter systems ,Hunting and tracking, gardening, Food preservation, Wilderness First Aid, Signal and ham radio communications
I'm not currently interested in traditional political action but going door to door during get out the vote efforts in past elections has taught me two main things:
- We are here
- Alot of us are scared.
Let's change #2 through education and action while building a community and network that can sustain us in the times ahead.
Message me if interested.
El Espanol es bienvenido, pero hablo poquito.
**UPDATE*** ***UPDATE*** **UPDATE**
We are over 20 strong! There's one more week until we set the date for our first meet. Message now to join in, good shit is happening!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER (sorry couldnt help myself)

That thought has kept me from making this post for months and I appreciate the hell out of some rational paranoia. At this point I'm combing historical examples for models.
The best I've figured is we communicate via message on here until we find/ agree on another platform to move to.
First meet will definitely be the largest challenge. Maybe we tell them it's gonna be a gay orgy? Lol any and all advice is welcome but let's switch to messaging.

Awesome! We just did our first season of outdoor gardening and it is brutal!
The goal is to let the post attract folks for another week or so and then move to our next steps.
I'll shoot you a message soon, look forward to meeting you!

Very interested. I've felt pretty isolated for about a decade now. Seems like most of the people I know have turned out to be MAGAtts.

Could you please keep me updated too? I'd also be interested in the future,I just can't right now because my dad passed away a few months ago,and I'm caring for my 83 year old mom,who has dementia. I just don't have time right now,but definitely like to be included in the future.

I'm interested, but I'm also autistic and have trouble leaving my home lol. If you get a group going, I'd love if you could post it on here. Because you're right, we won't be going back to normal. Even if we could wave a magic wand and disappear all the MAGAts, we would still have to laboriously repair the damage that's been done, and even if we did that, climate change is coming for this whole planet. How much longer will we have a relatively stable world? I recently read that if we don't get our shit together in the next few years, pollution-wise, then we will reach the tipping point for this planet and we won't be able to claw ourselves back from the edge of the abyss.

I've had a few responses already . My goal is to wait for a few weeks while gathering folks and then choosing next steps from there and I'll absolutely keep you in the loop.

I did a speech on "carrying capacity" of the Earth for my public speaking class at MCC a few years ago. I truly believe we're past that point and even if we do a complete 180 and fixed everything right now, there will still be some hard decisions that will need to be made.

We will need a truth reconciliation committee, to recover from some of these things.
Rwhanda did this while trying to recover from something much worse than we are going through.
However we have had things that show the truth (January 6th Committee) and the people who NEED to watch them don't, because they totally know the version of truth they are being told will be proven wrong.
We also need to make it ok for others to realize the truth without punishing them.

What's wrong with MAGA people?

u/Prestigious-Dog2354 5d ago
Oh I'm not here for that kind of conversation. Have a great day!

u/Ok-Alfalfa9686 5d ago
Lol, got it. Segregation and avoiding conversations is a great way to move forward! Who wants a group with people that put America first? That's silly.

u/ramblingpariah 5d ago
Just because you say you put America first doesn't mean you do. Look at the current administration.

Umm.. ok.. I'm Republican.. but I do have a few suggestions. You can create an app specifically for y'all.. then you can meet up physically any where without anyone knowing who/what y'all are doing (unless it is an actual gay orgy .. then I'd recommend someone's home for privacy šš¤£) and you'll have better results streaming the meeting. In my town there is a Republican thread on the neighborhood app for meetings and locations. Security isn't an issue bc most carry guns. However, if you're worried security wise you can ask the police if they can have an officer patrol/stand at your meetings for security reasons. Make sure you state clearly that you worry for your safety and the safety of others. Also.. restaurants, lodges, club buildings, etc. will normally be fine with you meeting there. Just some ideas.
I think you have a great idea. Best of luck.
