So what do you do to protect yourself from these thugs who will shake you down, kill you, take your property, take your family, shame you, ruin you financially, and more?

Guns and ammo seems so much easier.
You essentially made a pros and cons list. Depending on ones disposition, the pros outweigh the cons.
You made a great point:

How does any of that^^^^ get resolved with "a competent and conservative CPA" ??

Between the IRS and FBI becoming weaponized arms of Federal Government agendas - alongside DHS, CDC, and CIA - it is clear they are coming for the very citizens they have sworn to protect (lol).
ZeroHedge has a nice set of articles displaying the above - these are but three snippets:
Trust in FBI dropping like a meteor:

IRS job posting noting use of lethal force as a job requirement:

CDC lies and is generally incompetent:

No, I don’t mean guns and ammo for protection. Having defensive measures (key being defensive) isn’t a bad idea as it pertains to fending off other humans. But, that’s not what I’m talking about.
What I think you need is:
- A competent and conservative CPA
- Pay your taxes… alternative is bad
- A good, aggressive litigating attorney
- A public, positive social media presence that’s apolitical
- No Twitter or FB
- Email that isn’t Google
- Browser that isn’t US-based
- Turn off as much tracking/data collection as possible on your phone
- Run a Wi-Fi network that isn’t Comcast or equivalent
- Be a member of, and active in, a club of repute with notable members.. know people
- Do not associate with anyone who works for, or is closely associated with, any politicians or federal/local government employees
- Never threaten, but, ensure teachers or other educators have a sense you’re paying attention and understand how to litigate them
- Consume as little MSM news as possible
- Purchase goods with a laser focus on quality over quantity
- Consume as little as possible that is intended “for the masses”
- Don’t eat meat
- Don’t ever consume unfiltered water (that you filtered)
- Purify the air in your house and monitor its quality
- VPN
- Use AMEX Platinum/Black Cards/etc for all purchases - consume using what’s intended to be for the “high-end” consumer
- Bank with a tier 1 bank, in their private client side if possible
- Avoid hedge funds and private equity like the plague
- Avoid Crypto
- Be appropriately conspicuous so if you were gone it would be noticeable
- Do annual physicals and blood work
- Avoid anyone who is politically extreme
- Be vague about your money in all ways
- Make sure “they” know that you know they are watching (hi there) and lean into that
- Ensure you are not easy to understand/are complex, intentionally
- Literally never follow the herd, but make people think you’re apathetic or agree with them
- Defend yourself aggressively, and publicly, if provoked
- Make no political contributions
- If you live in an area where you are materially in the political minority, do not vote
- Question everything and everyone taking nothing at face value, internally
- Be very aggressive when dealing with major corporations, no holds barred
- Avoid all physical altercations or violence unless absolutely necessary for self or family defense
- Always be on the offense internally, even if outwardly you seem neutral
- Live in definable reality and ignore “stories”
- Always stick to logical arguments, ignore gaslighting and call it out
- Have few friends, many acquaintances
- Deal with “problems” quietly and privately
- Do not throw stones, avoid those who do
- Be “unique” so as harder to profile
- Have a consistent routine where your absence would be noticeable
- Be transparent about your shortcomings, open about your mistakes, always work to improve
- Follow all basic laws closely where violating them would be obvious
- Be self-reliant in most matters that don’t require deep subject matter expertise, and scrutinize “experts” closely
- Avoid mass transportation whenever possible
- Appreciate that destruction, in personal/psychological/change/growth senses, is part of the process
- Trust but verify
What else?
The aim of the above points is to approach the world with intention. Eyes open. And, there’s more.
Alternatives leave you being an outlier - “off the grid” is tracked any way possible. You have to engage society if you want fruitful outcomes as defined by earning more money.
What say you?
- Don’t eat meat
