Your post is a little over the top. It conjures up images of fat and happy preppers pushing their canned peaches and sardines across the table while liberals "shiver and freeze" in the cities, waiting for the preppers to come rescue them after which the preppers will get to say "I told you so" while the grateful liberals get down on their knees to admit they were wrong and vow to live a life of conservatism for ever and ever.

Nice little fantasy but it will not play out like that.

No it doesn’t. I think you’re projecting onto me.

Most city dwellers are liberal, most liberals loathe prepping, and guns. But not all.

Vice versa for rural areas. It will play out much like I said, majority of city dwellers will not survive due to these facts. Most rural dwellers will. But mostly because city dwellers rely on food arriving to stores on time, and clean city water. Rural areas have wells, more gardens and livestock. My statement MAY have been an over exaggeration, but I don’t think so. Most people fleeing the cities will either take over less populated rural areas, or get shot. Some will help their friends and families who live in rural areas. Those will be the ones that survive.

Anyways, in any case the more secluded areas that are less densely populated will be where the majority of survivors are located. In a major catastrophe.

I don’t think I’m wrong here. I’m sorry that you have that image. But the majority of survivors will be preppers, people that can defend themselves, and people that can live off the land. Some city dwellers will bug out, but if you stay in a metropolis, your chance at survival probably drops to around 10-15% in a major nationwide or global catastrophe just where food and water are cut off for a month or longer.
