| Looks like you folks were right. We are heading at warp speed to a scenario where the need to be self sufficient even if its temporary, will happen.
What are you doing to secure food/water supplies etc? |

Location: Kansas | Let me quote Newt Gingrich from an interview with him last weekend.
"This President is the greatest threat to national security of anyone who has ever occupied the Oval Office."
Might not be word for word but you get the idea. I'm not a prepper but very concerned especially of biological or chemical attacks in major cities. Letting Syrian refugees into this country is insane. I'm with Trump.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | As much as we all want to deny reality and do things like barrel racing to escape, there is no denying that we all should brace for impact, because it's coming at warp speed. If someone would have predicted we would be where we are today just 10 years ago, I would think they were nuts. I shudder to think where we will be in ten years......that is if we survive. There's a reason why "survivalism" is a hot topic these days. In fact, it's an industry, in and of itself. |

Location: London Ontario | We have Bug Out Bags ready. We looked at a few different lists online and went from there. We are always fully stocked with ammo and all the guns are cleaned and prepped after each use. I am no hunter but I am often dragged along to practice just in case. We have a little money stashed in places around the house as well as copies of ID hidden(although it may not be worth anything at that point). We live in a small town but have multiple alternative routes to our hunt camp up north where we plan to go if anything happens. We also have diesel in cans in our shed ready if we need to make a get away and get far away. we use it to fill up every few weeks to ensure it is still good, then refill. It never hurts to be extra careful and PLAN PLAN PLAN |

| Trump. Obama. and the politically correct movement is what will cause this. Social media is what will fuel this. It just keeps gaining momentum, splitting the country. Maybe enough so that by the time we have to change presidents, we can't and O will declare martial law. I never thought it would get this bad and its only just starting. |

I see this happening and it scares the hell out of me, I worry about my sons and my grandchildren. I want O out of here, so we can at least try to get back to normal. |

| I have not really made a plan. I think we are all one step ahead of the rest by owning horses lol. I am glad now more than ever that we do not live near a major city. I dont know what we would do if it got really bad. That is super scary to think about. As one of you said, social media fuels a lot of things in this country. Think back to the 90s, early 2000s even. Things did not seem so crazy then. I dont know if its just because we are connected so closely now with all of social media outlets or what. Def scary times these days. I really wish the oil and gas business would bounce back :(. |

I can't put my finger on why I feel that way other than premonition, but he has since proven himself to make the most of every crisis to split us further and further apart. Very different from how Americans used to come together in bad times. The San Bernandino shooting wasn't even over and people were arguing guns and politics. Now Trump is talking about FDR style interment camps not being out of the question and folks are cheering him? Seriously? I'm trying not to freak out, but it's hard not to.

Exactly. Anyone who think Trump wouldn't make matters much worse isn't hearing him. Trump would jump on the whole martial law thing and be quick to 'put up internment camps' according to his own words. Any time you've gotten to that point and let fear rule you, you will give up most of your freedoms. Amazing that people always jump on the fact they think Obama will do this. Trump actually said he was willing to. And yet people are still listening. We need a president with sense, not a lot of money, hot air, and bad toupe. |

Location: Missouri | From what I read, Trump doesn't want internment camps, but he does want to stop anymore coming in, and nobody coming in if they've been overseas for a "vacation".
Are people thinking there will be war on American soil? Like a full out war? Not saying we aren't under attack now, in isolated cases. But like WAR!?
Our Country is so divided by race at the moment and every single time an African American person is shot by law inforcement, there is a law suit, yet Obama doesn't care that more of them are killing eachother than the police are.
We are in serious trouble for sure, but I'm not sure I need to stock pile supplies. |

Location: Kansas | The European nations have let millions of Muslims into their countries. Their goal has been to change the European way of life to their own. Saw yesterday where Norway is paying refugees to fly back to Syrian and get out of their country. The amount of money they're giving them I'm afraid would allow them to fly to South American and then cross our borders.

There were people protesting this outside the NFR but I had no idea it was this bad. So incredibly sad for these ranchers. Just wow. |

Read an article about how you may not be as safe as you think living in a rural area thanks to drones and google earth.

My boyfriend predicts this exactly. Something will happen and obama will declare Martial law and delay the election. At least between us and my family we really should be more prepared. We've talked about just moving to the Alaskan wilderness and escaping it all. |
