“The Bubba Effect is a trend of behavior that was postulated on one of Glenn Beck’s shows by United States Army (Ret) Command Sgt Major Tim Strong about groups of people heading for the hills when they feel threatened or times are uncertain.[1][2][3] It is some bizarre theory that the US Government is going to institute martial law and enslave the citizens of the United States because the economy will collapse in the near future. Apparently it only includes those in rural “Real America” being able to resist in their armed survival compounds with rifles and Bibles in hand. The name itself is an attempt to reclaim the stereotypical “redneck” name[4], implying that this manner of readiness is a virtue scorned by the effete.

In practice, the Bubba Effect amounts to vague threats springing from a collection of survivalist ideas and conspiracy theories. This is about as close as Beck has come to condoning outright violence against government entities, and citizenry that just “don’t get it”,[5] by casting it in a positive light. It is so broad that it often gathers up a number of Ron Paul supporters as well.[6]

Alex Jones’ followers head to the hills on a weekly/bi-weekly basis, whenever they get a FEMA camp deportation emergency. They also have nice picnics, so it’s worth joining them. “

I think it has something to do with the Stupid Redneck American how needs to put up as a straw man in order to push through legislation.

I.E. Demonizing a Group to get what you want.

I thought it was the feeling of dizziness and nausea that overcomes one when he or she thinks intently about Bill Clinton for too long.

It is just a another form of getting one group to hate another. It is divide and concur.

Government suppresses freedom and the people who oppose it band together. A rising up of the population against a rouge government. The military taking the side of the American people.
This administration has caused gun sales to skyrocket. The population senses something is not right.

Hank Williams Jr. wrote a song titled “A Country Boy Can Survive.” This is what they (on the left) are talking about — But in my opinion, it is just honest country living.

HAH! And, I thought the “Bubba effect” was Clinton’s womanizing, rape, disgusting lies, etc. and the public loving him all the more for it!
