Am I the only one watching Minneapolis and being grateful it’s winter and the weather is garbage? Maybe I saw too much in 2020. Maybe I’ve been through too many riots. (My area is notorious for “civil disorder.”) But it seems like the only reason Minneapolis hasn’t burned and this hasn’t spread to other cities is the season and weather. What will it be like when it’s 70+, the kids are out of school/college, and the diehard “mostly peaceful” types aren’t too cold to riot? Anybody else adjusting for what (I suspect) is coming in about 90 days? If so, how? |

I told my wife today that the riots and unrest would most likely be much worse if this was spring or summer. The major cities will get worse as things feel different than 2020. Even around my town people are spun-up and you can feel the uneasiness. Personally I'm working hard on comms and shooting more. I'm constantly working on the truck and GHB adding and removing things depending on weather. I'm watching neighbors a little more (the shitty ones) and trying to connect with the good ones. |
The truth is a lot like my dick...its hard to swallow.

It never bothers me to see leftists burn their own cities down. I shake my head at the insanity of it all but they deserve every bad thing they are getting. If you aren’t one of them but live in a city like Minneapolis….better find a way out or, if that’s not possible, better find a way to be the “grey man”. Rioters have burned parts of Minneapolis in the past. Might as well burn the rest. |

| I’m 2hrs west of Minneapolis. I just told the very same thing to my wife yesterday. Since I moved back 5 years ago I’ve been downtown one time for a doctor apt. Wife wants me to teach her shooting in the spring. Other than that we keep prepping little by little with freeze dried food. It will be interesting come march when the weather breaks! |

| Some places are so used to protests and minor riots it barely makes the news. Minneapolis is headed there. |

Minneapolis used to have a glorious music scene, lots of clubs downtown, as well as an extensive farmers market, Rib Fest and various other events to keep the masses engaged. What clubs left now cater to a specific demographic. There’s no notable music coming from Minneapolis anymore, Rib Fest moved to a suburban casino parking lot, farmers market moved away from downtown….nothing left but boredom and frustration for young white leftists. As long as Trump is president, it’s not going to take much for Minneapolis to kick off come summer…. I’d be happy to never go there again… |
