A chain of U.S. survival communities plan to activate and open to members for the first time over fears of violence following the presidential election on Nov. 3.
Fortitude Ranch camps in West Virginia and Colorado will open on election day to protect members, the company’s October newsletter said. Regardless of whether Republican President Donald Trump or Democratic challenger Joe Biden wins the election, Fortitude Ranch expects possible “looting and violence” that could devolve into long-term, widespread clashes, the newsletter said.
Fortitude Ranch CEO Drew Miller said some on social media feared civil war, and he did not rule out the possibility.
“This will be the first time we have opened for a collapse disaster, though it may end up not being so,” said Miller in an emailed statement. “We consider the risk of violence that could escalate in irrational, unpredictable ways into widespread loss of law and order is real.”
Fortitude Ranch set up its first camp in West Virginia in 2015 and has two more in Colorado. For an annual fee of around $1,000, members can vacation at camps in good times, and use them as a refuge in the event of a societal collapse. Members are required to own either a rifle or shotgun to defend the communities. The company does not disclose membership numbers.
U.S. security officials have warned that violent domestic extremists pose a threat to the presidential election, citing rising political tensions, civil unrest and foreign disinformation campaigns. FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memos said threats by domestic extremists to election-related targets will likely increase in the run-up to the election.

However, if food runs short, they may have to eat Spam with me.

Lotsa people don’t liked to be watched. They get the idea it’s stalking. Works both ways. Just saying.
I’d have to prove myself, obviously.
“I’m just going to stock up on Spam, bottled water, extra scoopable litter, cat food (dry and wet), and toilet paper.
And lots of coffee. I’d rather starve than run out of coffee.”

Don’t wait til the last minute. A lot of folks here weren’t aware of the coming covid grocery craze earlier this year until they went to the stores and found the cupboards were bare.
I’m always thinking ahead and had been keeping up with China news, anyway, so I was prepared before the shortages hit.
We learned to prepare for this back during the riots of 1967 and 1968.
Preparations for THE COMING ICE AGEof the 1970s.
Also prepared in the 1980s for the “Collapse of Civilization” which was the nightmare then.
2020 needs to be flushed down the toilet but a Trump win would certainly make life better.
