many people of middle eastern decent have disappeared. To maintain power, these monsters running the government, if they remain unchecked, will scapegoat some group. I imagine the first group in a long list would be those from the middle east.
However, it's not clear to me the reactionary elements will be able to keep the upper hand here. I hope not.
But sometimes just relying on hope is not enough. I think there is a saying that goes something like plan for the worst, but hope for the best.
You already know some of the best ways to survive, you have done so before. Thus, you do have a good chance to protect both yourself and your children.
In regards to plan for the worst, during upheavals it always helps to have already made a plan for escaping. If people from the middle eastern countries living here need to escape, there will be set-up clandestine routes for their escape to a safe haven. Make plans to be able to do this if the need comes-up. Maybe Canada or certain countries in Central America could be good places to plan on going to.
I know the border to Canada is porous. It would be literally impossible to effectively close that border, especially in blue states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. I would suggest a town like Detroit for example. A large city with a border that in a pinch could be crossed with a rowboat. There are other cities that due to their proximity to Canada would serve as well. Personally knowing many people in Michigan, even those that look like reactionaries, they aren't really. They would do the right thing and give shelter and move people along to safety.
But careful attention still needs to be maintained from those in Canada to prevent reactionary forces within Canada from collaborating with those here in the states and closing the border from Canada's side to refugees fleeing to freedom. So keep monitoring whats going on in Canada to be sure there is a safe haven there, if it gets really bad here.
The main thing I guess, is do what you are doing, staying aware of the situation and having in place a plan, a workable doable plan. And also hope for the best.
We will get through this, somehow.
