This is not my board, and I'm not some great expert, but I'm just putting in my 2 cents.
I know everyone is sick of politics. I am, too. However, I think this situation we find ourselves in has less to do with right left politics, and dem GOP parties. This is a good vs evil sort of an ideological battle. If you are looking around you can see the internal struggles are at the tipping point. In the natural world of human beings things are about to get ugly.
If President Trump wins with a squeaker, or if courts find in his favor, the left will explode with insane levels of rioting and brutality for "stealing" it. If they win, they will think it's a mandate, and they will use the opportunity ALSO to riot in some twisted sort of celebration. They will think they do the country a favor to punish the rest of us "nazis and fascists" who have "ruined their democracy"... yada, yada. No matter how it ends up they will not be easy to live with. If Trump wins, it would be stupid to think they will change their ways before the next election. Things are not improving.
As for me, I'm a believer in Jesus, I believe that we are in the last days. We know what kind of mayhem is coming, right or wrong, at some point. We've seen this coming for a long time. So long, in fact, that some of us (I) got complacent.
My take on this particular election is this: we have a few weeks to see how things go, but EITHER WAY I think we are only going to have a few months, and God willing, up to another 4 year window of time to get ready. I have to say, I will take every day and every year I can get, because we're never really ready enough are we? But I think this is truly the BIG wake up call. If you've been looking for a sign for when to pull the lever and go full bore into prep/survival mode, I think now we've seen that sign. I'm not a panic monger or a fearful person, and I'm not trying to spread more stress or anything like that-- I just see the writing on the wall. It's time to go now.
If you aren't ready, it's time to up your game and go into 100% efforts. Personally, for me, it's always been an "out there somewhere" thing. I took it seriously, but til now I never really felt the urgency or the certainty that it's upon us. When I realized it (or became aware that this reality is very, VERY close) I also realized I am not where I need to be. This is not going to be treated as a drill, or an exercise. I am older, and we have very little to work with, we were robbed of our meager savings a few years ago and will be starting over, but I'm making the move before the end of the year to find a small piece of land, take my stash, and GET THERE. The details will play out and the day to day struggles will test us, but the decision is made... late, but just skinny-ing in before the balloon goes up, I think.
*IF* this isn't *IT* then I think it's the cue to make the move and get established. Could be that God wants to wake up a bunch more folks and He'll give us more time in His mercy. I hope that's the case, but, like a good prepper, I'm going to be ready in case I was right in the first place.
Anyway, heads up, friends. Stay calm, and stay safe, and get ready.
