Trying to call emergency services there to help out a friend whose mom has dementia and lives with her sister there and is completely out of contact, and there's like no way to.

Called red cross and united way as well, they have zero info.

They're basically cut off at the moment, ain't good

      For sure it is. It's a prime area to test things out at. Horrified for anyone that's on their list in the area right now, because they have free reign to get away with whatever at the moment

        Keep in mind; There are a huge number of them, they're very factitious, they splinter and turn on each other all the time, they're all gripped by various racial and religious delusions. It's unlikely that there's any large steering group with more of a direct hand than LibsofTiktok. It's far more likely that smaller groups like individual friend groups, church groups, groups of cops, etc. would act independently and only vaguely steered by what media talking heads and social media are saying.

          This is what I'm bringing up about Moore County in particular. There's been organization there for awhile now. at least before 1/6. The Qanon group Emily Rainey is part of took over an abandoned school in the area and were doing meetings there, without the cops doing shit about it.

          I cannot link you an article about this or anything, it's just information I've been told by people that live in the area.

          Take me at my word for it, at least on the principle that I'm reporting real local murmurings I've been told over time. Like she and the cult she's with are known figures to people in the area is my point.

        edit: I guess the question is… are they really in a position to go for it? Hard to tell.

        They will feel like they are in position until the left starts taking significant steps to make them feel unsafe.
