    It’s most peoples understanding that being a member of any organization that has “socialist” in the name can make you a target for fascist. But I think it’s also most peoples perspective that EVERYONE is a target for fascist eventually. There is no defense in just sitting by and hoping that you’re the last to be targeted.

    As a straight white male it’s definitely a privileged position to not have to be as concerned yet.

    The SRA itself is not at all political though and members are discouraged from doing any organizing that could be connected directly to the organization. It’s basically meant to be a safe space for people to learn responsible gun ownership. Something that is usually dominated by the “maga hats”.
