I found this very interesting given the various liberal narratives of the last three weeks.

It seems to me that people selling prepper supplies are drumming up fear of a coming war in order to SELL MORE.

This says it all about what’s happening with the television-absorbed preppsies. It’s extremely short for a short story, a fascinating, free read and all behind the link. Enjoy. It’s also an old classic, by the way, commonly included in courses of English literature of years gone by.

I tend to agree....a lot of this talk is just ‘fake’ talk or advertising for more prepper supplies.

If you go and talk to working-class Democrats...they will tell you that this whole fake crowd has taken over the party agenda in the twenty years, and regular Democrats are finding it more difficult to believe or listen to this garbage they are hearing.

I’m in my 80’s.

I grew up in the north woods on my grandparent’s farm. We not only did not have electricity, the whole town - actually still called a Plantation - hadn’t yet had poles run.

We lived, to a great extent, as most people had for centuries: INDEPENDENT.

During the Great Depression, our tables were laden with food...and there was always a years supply on hand, with “renewability.” We had, depending on the season, food in the gardens, in canning jars in the pantry, barrels and bushel baskets in the cellar, eggs, chicken in the hen house, milk, beef and pork in the barn, fruit in the orchards and berry bushes, wild meat in the woods, fish, birds in the waters/skies.

Our heat was free, from the forest. Our lights were kerosene lamps (you can store a couple years worth of kerosene easily.)

Most clothes were homemade, sewn or knit. etc.

People knew how to repair, or replace the thing with their hands. (Grampa repaired the roofs with shingles he, himself, split from cedar logs.)

You get the picture.

Most prepping stresses ‘STORAGE.” It should stress, first, getting in gardens, fruit trees, berry bushes, hen houses, maybe rabbit hutches, etc, established. RENEWABLE foods that keep generating supplies - not just a few months to 2 years or so off the storage shelves.

Learn the free forage foods from your surroundings.

Learn how to hunt, how to fish, how to butcher.

Have a minimum of an acre of land - alto’ you can feed one family, even two, from 1/2 acre. If you think you can’t move to the county, do you have a front/ backyard? PLANT it. Learn how to garden until it becomes second hand.
Start a ‘neighborhood/community’ “INDEPENDENCE ALLIANCE” for everyone growing etc. Insurance against neighbors coming to steal from neighbor...from you.

The more people who learn to be more self-sufficient with renewable food, the fewer people searching to steal yours.

and do it all queitly...

“If you go and talk to working-class Democrats...they will tell you that this whole fake crowd has taken over the party agenda in the twenty years, and regular Democrats are finding it more difficult to believe or listen to this garbage they are hearing.”

I wouldn’t bet the ranch on what a few ‘regular’ Democrats (or Republicans) think.

Which side controls the Supreme Court determines if there will be a Civil War. It was VERY EASY to see it coming under Hillary, almost certain in my book.

1) She would have ‘passed’ gun confiscation by edict.
2) The Republicans would have gone to her 5-4 Supreme Court (with Loretta Lynch on the bench, rather than Gorsuch) saying it’s both unconstitutional and certainly would require an act of Congress.
3) The Supreme Court would have said that this is a battle between Congress and the White House, so they wouldn’t get involved, as to the Second Amendment, that only applies to the National Guard. So if Congress doesn’t like it, they can pass a law to stop her.*
4) With Hillary as president, Congress would need a 2/3’s vote to override any of her edicts, even with the level of anger over what’s she’s doing, Congress will never get to that level of Republicans, so her edict stands.
5) Certain states, like Texas, say flat-out that they’re not complying
6) Hillary says fine, we’ll get your guns ourselves
7) Those ‘rouge’ states then order ALL federal workers off of their land (including the military), and set up their own militias.
8) The games begin.

*Don’t laugh, #3 (above) has already been used by the 4 Leftist judges in at least one of their rulings.

She knew enough to not call for outright confiscation when she ran, but a Parkland or two would have given her the ‘justification’ she needed, and there will always be Parklands.

As to how the fight goes, God only knows.

For people who wonder why I am still LIVID at NeverTrumpers, read 1-8 again and ask whether driving our country into that scenario is fair to our kids and grandchildren, just because Trump is a ‘baffoon’?

Everyday, I’ll bet three hundred Democrats are taking the ‘red-pill’ and flipping over to becoming Republicans. This is especially true in the black community.

to many fat people to have a civil war.

not enough fear and desperation to make a man physically grab a rifle or gasoline to kill someone or burn his house and family to death. Because he knows that once he’s “popped his cherry” and killed someone, he can never go back.

Once the interstates to the cities are blocked, the people will quickly be starved of food and essentials.

That will quickly result in riots and looting on a massive scale. The cities will be turned insode out, destroyed. Starved people initially violent will lose their fervor
