I'm hoping I'm right, too. The thing is, it's all very much up in the air. The Democrats are doing their usual plan of depressing their own youth vote by talking down to the youth and acting like any critique of Democratic policies means you must be voting for Republicans instead. It's gross, rude, and not very productive with the youth, who are largely on their side.

Mutual Aid networks is what you should be getting involved with. We don't have the skills for combat, we have other skills. All kinds of skills are needed in a civil war style situation, give your real valuable skills where they are worth something.

Also I prefer a high powered flashlight that can blind an assailant. Light is faster than bullets and only hurts those who look directly at it.

EDIT: Also, extinction bursts in children are easier to control because they're fucking children. These are organized adults with the temperament of children. Their extinction burst might not fail.
