We have a neighbor who is clearly well down the rabbit hole. He's a 76-year old white guy who watches Faux Noise 24/7. Yesterday my husband was having a chat with him and the conversation turned to the gate the neighbor built into his back fence. Our yards border an agricultural area, with no homes behind us.
The guy told hubby the reason he built a gate onto the field is because he is getting old and can't run any more and he wanted an easy way to quickly exit his property in case antifa invaded our neighborhood.
The conversation turned to how he is considering tearing up his back yard to plant a vegetable garden just in case things get as bad as he's heard they will.
He's also convinced that the government is listening in on all of our phone conversations and snooping on our online activity.
His wife has told him she wants to buy a gun.
The kicker in all of this is that we live in an upper middle class gated golf course community in a semi-rural area of the SF Bay region of CA. Not wealthy but everyone here is doing well and has nothing to fear from antifa.
After hubby shared this with me and my laughter about the notion that "antifa" was coming for us settled down, I reflected on how sad it was that this couple is living in fear because of their addiction to Faux and other RWNJ information sources.
You live in a gated golf course community in the Bay Area and you think you are not wealthy? Oh well, as Eb Scrooge used to say, "There's no such thing as rich enough!" 😉
Sounds like your neighbors are well on the way to owning high-powered firearms. I hope your walls are thick enough to stop stray bullets.
I am still trying to figure out when being against fascism became a bad thing. What the fuck is happening to this country?
And yet these are the same fucks who see us in masks, call us sheep and proudly boast they are living their lives without fear. SMDH
LOL...we have a lot of skunks here so I guess our version is skunktifa. Kind of fits with the neighbor's narrative - dressed in black and come out at night.
Haha, in my neighborhood it's squirreltifa. They've mutated into a black-furred variety. I'd post a pic, but they don't like being photographed.
I'm all for planting a large vegetable garden, but he's gonna have to watch out for Slugtifa.
