Yeah I mean I probably couldve just dressed normally and been fine but I'm paranoid. My car screams "poor urban white guy" and had out of state tags, which I'm sure to more paranoid chuds means libtard at best antifa at worst. Plus I planned on doing solo hikes on trails that are down secluded single-lane gravel roads in the woods so I didn't want to have any reason to be followed lol.

It is fucked up though. I was never a fan of super chud rural areas but I never felt like I was behind enemy lines before. Granted I wasn't always a Communist but chuds weren't always attacking and killing leftists either. It's honestly starting to feel like what it probably felt like going to the rural south during the civil rights movement.
