Election Brings A New Breed Of Prepper

Cool....some more allies at SM??? Someone to share the weight!

 

I do not think it is anything new. Truthfully, I see more Hillary voters as vendors at the farmers market, growing clubs etc. IMO those organic, earthy peace love people have more homesteading skills then many preppers I know.

 

I'm thinking @chelloveck will have to work harder to maintain a contrarian stance from both sides. Frankly I welcome liberal preppers, it's time they learn that the donkey and elephant are the same animal. The only difference being one panders to one crowd for votes and power, and the other panders to a different group for the same reason, and neither give a damn about us

 

This is all I needed to hear to know the dolt is a liar, idiot and couldn't get out of a corn maze on his own if all it was was a straight shot with no side trails and arrows pointing the way. Doesn't want to live under "tyranny" but votes for the most tyrannical and corrupt couple in American political history, a couple that makes Lenin and Stalin look like reasonable people and he thinks that is OK?!

While 3m-TA3 has a point, keeping the stupid, lazy, degenerate, and gimme crowd alive is not a good idea. The Trump election IS bringing a new breed of prepper to our ranks, the willfully stupid, ignorant and useless. God help us all.

 

The donkeys and elephants are on the same plantation.
Most just haven't figured it out.

 

If leftists become preppers, they won't be leftists for long. The very action of them becoming preppers means they've begun to place less reliance on government and more on themselves, aligning by default with more conservative beliefs.

Interesting to note the paranoia that exists at both extremes. When it appeared that Hilary was going to walk away with the presidency, many believed that conservatives would be rounded up and placed in FEMA camps. Now it's leftists who believe the same of themselves with Trump (soon to be) in power.

If the most likely scenario plays out, economic collapse and breakdown of rule of law, it's not going to care what your political leanings are or were. And it can happen no matter who is in the WH. The unprepared are going to do without a lot of necessities and the government won't be able to help.

 

Can't we all be Libertarian Preppers?

 

Welcome back Legion....NObammy presidential pardon?

 

BINGO! The very act of prepping IS the sign of a polar shift to what I think as a common place for all to advance! Political shift may be a good thing, I think many are seeing the truth despite the MSM and the Democraps! People ARE scared, and scared can be a good thing! I say welcome them all and let things sort them selves out in time!

 

This is exactly where I was going up above. We have been tricked into stiff polarization that keeps us at each others throats and not riding herd on our representatives. Once the left seeks self reliance they will find that they are in fact conservatives.

 

Not really most of those could not exist without SARE, AMS, FMPP, EQIP, NCRS, Spec Crop, Value Added, and educational Grant funding to name a few of their favorite teats to tap. 99% of the Moonbat Farms out of business within 3 years or when the next big grant doesn't come through. See it year in and year out, they read a lot of books and have all of the right answers and near Zero actual skills. They have been the running joke among us long time market owners and market vendors. We call them fly by night farmers or farmers in name only

 

Situational awareness, just one more thing to watch out for...

 

Let the paranoia flow like a river of tears. I'm over it and their bull. Darwin will out.

 

Hunger and self protection from predators of all stripes will bring everybody together at the far side of the mess we are approaching on a worldwide scale. The present tags of liberal and conservative will have lost their meanings after the majority of the present population has been reduced by 50% and there will only be the living and the dead.

I'm sure all those bright pink guns will be painted in good camo as time passes.

 

Up The Republic!!! I think we are all tracking here!

 

Need new party...the libertarian party under Gary wants your guns and open borders.
From some of the "hopeful" comments in this thread aboot liberals become more sane as they arm themselves and start thinking like preppers.....uh...
It tells me that few of you actually know liberals very well at all IRL.

If buying a gun and thinking aboot survival instantly made you a better person...your inner cities would be bastions of equality.

 

The few farmers markets that I been to over the last couple of years in larger population was just that. I can say that most of these peace loving people really do have more homesteading skills than most preppers, me included. I'm not a homesteader by anymeans, but wouldnt mind going that way. I have talked to a few of them and they do this as a job, no other income or jobs.

Survival does not have a political label, but I believe it will be a way to divide people if a major event happens.
