Preparing for pre-election turmoil

I've written many articles over the years about emergency preparations; food, water, shelter, and everything that goes with them. There are innumerable resources on the Internet about the same subject. I hope most of my readers have taken steps to improve their own preparedness for when things go wrong.

We're now less than 100 days away from the November 2020 elections. The country is already wracked by unrest, protests and rioting, and that's likely to get worse - perhaps much worse - as the elections approach. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, and may ratchet upward as cooler weather approaches. I think it's likely to be a long-term threat, lasting years rather than months.

  1. The preelection turmoil won't be jack compared to what happens AFTER the polls close. No matter what the results half the country won't accept the outcome. The commie Hal refuses to accept the 2016 results and if Trump wins they will scream and fit even more vigorously. If they manage to steal the election....which is the ONLY way brain dead Biden beats Trump....I and any sentient American won't accept the outcome. Either way things will be sporty come November.

  3. Well, every fucking "protestor" that is masked and wearing a backpack should be detained, and searched. No weapons, no arrest. Find Bombs or "milkshakes" or bikelocks, and they should be prosecuted as terrorists.

    That shit will dry up in a hurry.
