Interesting scenario and close to several I have hashed out my own self in those "what if" moments. The biggest problem for freedomists is organizing, everything is monitored by the 'G', and at the first sign of trouble they would sweep through these rural enclaves and neutralize the area, one home at a time and without organized resistance, well, people as individuals will have to decide, is this my hill.

My thoughts... Democrat/socialist/leftists and their "armies" are way better organized than right wingers, way better. SHTF time would, as usual start in the streets of leftist cities and towns. It will start out or be like another "2020 summer of love" but will grow to industrial strength, more violent and wide spread, more municipalities and more participants. And it will keep growing. BLM and ANTIFA types along with our existing home boy gangs, plus many of our "newcomers" who have crossed the borders over the past few years will wreak havoc. After destroying what they can in cities and towns they will move out hard into the burbs. As in the past police will be ordered to stand down (stupid term, but...) and shit will get ugly, way beyond ugly this time around. The pot is beginning to boil, bands of attackers are already active along with looters, jackers, murders, name it and it's happening now. No doubt it will grow.
One thing that can be counted on, some political leaders will encourage the carnage. And when it gets really bad, full blown grown up mayhem, who knows whose side LEO or the gov troops will be told to take, or how they will handle it. Martial law?.... Possible. Confiscation?.... quite possible. So maybe pre-plan your boating accidents.
