In some ways zombies might have been easier...I had contingency plans for zombies, but not for fascism.

My SIL just had the cops show up at 9pm for a "Wellness Check", and when asked why someone would call in a wellness check they claimed it was because of something her husband had said on social media. He mostly post pictures of art or videos of playing his guitar.

Message from stranger, seemed human ( because conversation went quickly from small pleasantries to sob story and offer to sell nudes ) but straight to a bot response once I politely declined.
