Why younger Americans are stockpiling supplies ahead of 2024 election: ‘Society unraveling’
NY Post ^ | 12/04/2023 | Jesse O’Neill

Doomsday “prepping” is seeping into the mainstream as Americans of all ages and political persuasions are becoming increasingly worried ahead of the 2024 presidential election about the prospect of a civil war.

Hoarding food, water and weapons was once associated with libertarian extremists, but as a rematch between President Biden and his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, seems all but inevitable in 2024, prepping has become a bipartisan activity, according to a Monday USA Today report.

Sorry, youngsters!

If Trump wins in 2024, the ‘dictatorship’ would only last 4 years, then the 22nd Amendment kicks in.

Almost everybody is noticing that the evil winds are coming over hear.

Food, gas, inflation, jobs, normalcy...

It’s all fading away. Dust off those Bibles folks.

No, Trump will not declare himself Dictator.

That said, I do hope he implements proscriptions for large swathes of the Democratic leadership and their minions.

I was ready for 2021. I knew the dems would blatantly steal the ‘20 election. When the pubbies contested the steal, I assumed the left would go into anarchy mode. “pubbies contest the steal”, how stupid can a guy get?

I recall a few years ago Trump actually was President, and he was hounded and persecuted for 4 years over fake claims of Russian collusion, violations of the never-enforced Logan Act, and because he tried to investigate the blatant bribery of Joe Biden. I don’t recall anyone calling him a dictator at the time since he couldn’t do anything even when he had both houses of Congress.

I am seeing a repeat of 2002 tech firing and replacing with Indian workers.

I expect October, 2024 to be rough. The Left will go to any length to stop Trump, or any Repub, from getting elected.

I think the Left will go all antiFA if Trump wins. Glad I live in a solid red county of Florida.

Same here.

Then a day after Biden elected, I started storing up on everything OTC meds, cleaning supplies, etc etc etc. I’ve got enough to last ten yrs, I’m sure. I really don’t need to spend much on anything now.
