Used to be "prepping" as a lifestyle was linked to right wing and conspiracy theory ideologies. But as the economy and the ecology crumble, more and more people of all political views are making plans to withdraw from society and protect their own.

"The only real unifying denominator among preppers these days is people who are smart enough to be aware of what the world is like … and they have the gumption to do something about it," Ramey said.

If you libs don't pull your head out of your ass, jesus christ. We're not voting our way out of fascism. It's here. It's now. Today.

Fuck me, the GOP is pulling every trick in the book to pull your vote. My registration has already been purged once. How about you? Ever show up and find out you can't vote?

Anyway, I can run, hide and fight. Can you? Got a place to go? Got food there? Got guns you're practiced with? Plenty of ammo? Water supply?

Keep making fun of us armed country folk. Jesus, at least you won't have to fight your liberal city neighbors. I got Brown Shirts right here on my fucking street.

I'm 53 and never in life imagined this shit would happen in America. Never in life imagined I would be thinking this way. 80s me would be fucking appalled at who am I now and what I'm preparing for.
