Liberal Preppers Stock Up On Guns, Food As Trumpocalypse Looms

Well damn... I guess libs can be Bible toting gun clingers too. Or was it gun toting Bible clingers? Eh.

Quote:
Colin Waugh bought a shotgun four weeks before November’s election.

An unapologetic liberal, he was no fan of firearms. He had never owned one before. But Waugh, a 31-year-old from Independence, Missouri, couldn’t shake his fears of a Donald Trump presidency — and all of the chaos it could bring. He imagined hate crimes and violence waged by extremists emboldened by the Republican nominee’s brash, divisive rhetoric. He pictured state-sanctioned roundups of Muslims, gays, and outspoken critics.

“I kept asking myself, ‘Do I want to live under tyranny?'” said Waugh, who supported Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary and later backed Hillary Clinton. “The answer was absolutely not.”

With Trump now days away from assuming the White House, Waugh’s preparing for the worst. He’s made “bug-out bags” stuffed with ammo, energy bars, and assorted survival gear for his wife and their three cats. He’s begun stowing water and browsing real estate listings in Gunnison County, Colorado, which he’s determined to be a “liberal safe-haven.” Last month, Waugh added a 9mm handgun to his arsenal.

Now he understands why we have a Second Amendment. I don't agree with his ideology but I understand the reaction.

If this movement takes hold, maybe we won't have to rescue them every time a storm blows through the area.

"browsing real estate listings in Gunnison County, Colorado, which he’s determined to be a “liberal safe-haven.”

I can understand Boulder, Denver, Aspen, Vail and now Ft Collins. But Gunnison?! Not so sure.

HAH!

More like patching holes from the "slap-fight" equivalent with shotguns.

I was thinking the same thing.

I too am a little baffled by the swath of liberal voting counties in what once was solid Agricultural, Mining, and Ranching communities. Perhaps the Gunnison / Cresed Butte area is a good way to show how Colorado has and is changing with the influx of people from places like Kali. In the 70's and 80's large influxes from people outside Colorado moved into these areas, at the time there was a fair share of conflict from increased taxation to conflicts of land usage ie the ranches vs the advent of fat tire bicycles and similar access ( cutting fences etc.. ). Then there are the ski areas like Aspen, Vail, Steamboat, Winter Park....with modest homes in downtown Aspen selling at the multi million dollar levels you can start to see the influx of elites into the area as well as the periphery population of trust fund babies...it changed the landscape from what I knew as a boy. The Southern part of the State is interesting, what once were strong communities of hard working Hispanic Americans whose families were here for centuries and you would expect to be conservatives seem to be changing with the new generations.
Below are the maps both being very very interesting especially the national map of county by county voting. It explains a great deal about what is happening in this country and gives insight into the liberal lefts strategy. If Kali falls off into the ocean they are nothing, if illegal immigration was put in check and non citizens were prevented from voting they would be in jeopardy as well.

The part of the story I like best is where the next "prepper" training class is on home brewing and winemaking.
They'll be prepared all right...but for all the wrong things.

At least Old Dog New Trick will be able to resupply some beer and wine along with ammo and food!

OMG yes. You hear those banjos?

Seriously, we could do a screenplay right here - lord knows the expertise is on hand. We need 2, probably 3, geographic backdrops to do this thing right - out west, Appalachia, & maybe Minneapolis fleeing to the north woods, or the pottery/turquoise industry in Taos wandering into West Tejas - so any background/flashback krap is taken care of up front (mixed with the opening credits) so the thing has good pace to it. I mean, JH17 is on the backburner for now maybe. Either way, Billy will have some oppressin' to do so what could go wrong?

From the original post tweaked a few words in color.

" couldn’t shake his fears of a Barack Obama presidency — and all of the chaos it could bring. He imagined hate crimes and violence waged by extremists emboldened by the Democrat nominee’s brash, divisive rhetoric"


This has been our reality for the last 8 years.

No, it's nothing that walking outside on to your porch and firing a couple blasts into the air won't solve.
