• Republicans are particularly confident in their ability to survive an apocalypse
Many Americans have experience with natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes but each time that one hits an area of the country it is apparent that few people take disaster preparation as seriously as the government tells them to. When people are often so woefully unprepared for a hurricane or earthquake, what hope is there if civilization as we know it were to collapse?
Research from YouGov shows that Americans are relatively optimistic about their fate in the event of an apocalyptic event. People tend to say that their survival time in the event of an apocalypse would be roughly the same as most people in their community (42%). 32% say that they'd live longer than most while 11% think that they'd end up dying early on. There is a significant partisan split on this question, however. 43% of Republicans say that they would survive longer than most people in their community, something only 22% of Democrats say. 47% of Democrats say that they'd live as long as most other people in their community.
Should an apocalypse hit, one of the biggest questions everyone would face is whether to stay put or try and seek shelter somewhere else. Most Americans (62%) say that they would try to brave it out at home, but 38% say that they'd evacuate their current location and try to seek shelter somewhere else. People who live in cities (46%) are particularly likely to say that they would leave home and go elsewhere, while people in rural areas (78%) are the most likely to say that they would stay at home to try and survive ...

I'm gonna opt to hunker in a bunker like General 'Buck' Turgidson ...
If the worse comes to worst, I'll make my own tools ...
Just don't seek shelter in that isolated farmhouse ...
Particularly timely since the Magic Mullas and Kimmie III are cooking something up.
No reason at all to leave the ranch; and many to stay...including a working outhouse.
A significant number of the die-off would be people suffering heart attacks when they find out their EBT cards wouldn’t work.
Eggzactly.
They're going to get as far as my sign that says, "If you can read this, you're in range".
Be Prepared

An important part of any survival plan in the event of TEOTWAWKI is to eradicate all liberals in your area of control. They probably helped to cause TEOTWAWKI and they lack any useful skills except eating. they are essentially zombies when the lights go out, so it is prudent to treat them as such.
Is that Kanye complaining about Beyonce not getting another stupid award?
Republicans are more geographically dispersed. Democrats are concentrated in cities. This means that republicans are more likely to survive a scenario like nuclear war or an asteroid, or even a zombie apocalypse. In any nuclear scenario, they would be attacking democrats.
They will know their in my range when they stand before God.
I’m in a tiny town more than 10 miles off the interstate with only 3 roads in and out. We’re surrounded by swampland, streams and open water so if we needed to keep people out it wouldn’t be hard to discourage them.
If you (editorial you) don’t have a list of the political affiliation of all your neighbors, you haven’t done your homework. ;’)
Eloquently stated. Well, maybe not eloquently, but accurately.
When those on assistance lose their monthly checks they will blame the government and go out and try to burn everything down to get even whit whitey. No wonder the government ordered 25M body bags and $1B worth of coffins. http://mrconservative.com/2014/01/30940-obama-quietly-orders-one-billion-dollars-worth-of-disposable-fema-coffins/
I live in the country. Where would I go? To the city?
Good to know since CWII is coming any month now.
