Genuine Question
With the current state everything is in for us here in the USA. Is anyone considering packing up their punk clothes that have very political patches? Im talking about stuff that currently could potentially get someone hurt; like free 🍉, gay pride, trans pride, different religious beliefs, or patches that may say things such as "Land Back!" Or "No One Is Illegal On Stolen Land."
I have all of these kinds of patches and being chronically ill I have some stuff that relates to my illness. But I worry that just cause Im wearing something that I made that feels true to me, that theres potential rise in violence against us who wear patches that speak our truth and THE TRUTH. 🍉
Has anyone been considering packing up their clothes and having non patched clothes or clothes that are just plain, no alternative flair? Im just concerned for my safety and those I care about. I also dont want to be out with my loved ones wearing my clothes Ive always worn just to have someone I care about hurt.
Am I the only one thinking about this???
If this shouldnt be here or violates any rules I understand for it being removed. Just curious.
EDIT I just wanted to add here that I do live in FL and the area I live is heavy with trump supporters. Weve even been having different events in the past few years such a pride be cancelled due to safety concerns.
I appreciate everyone whos commented and given their perspective, resources, and advice. I am not wanting to pack up my clothes, but I just worry it will get to a point where I dont have a choice.
