  • Honestly I think there is a non-zero chance of this happening as well. We live in an apartment and neither of us have ever been “prepper” types so we don’t have a huge hoard or anything, but I have dedicated a cabinet in our kitchen to this situation.

    I told my husband that I don’t think it’s unlikely that at some point we’re going to have to go without utilities for a couple weeks, so we needed to have stuff on-hand. After a few weeks, I feel like all bets would be off anyway and society would basically become feral so it doesn’t make sense to have a huge hoard that you can’t haul around easily. Unless you live in a house with Purge-Night style defenses, then I guess it makes sense.


  • I think its dependent on their base. I firmly believe Beto O’Rourke would have unseated Fled Cruz if there wasn’t an emotional sound bite of him saying “Hell yeah we’re taking your guns!” After a WalMart in his hometown was shot up.

    Ted Cruz (and Greg Abbott in the ensuing gubnatorial election) both played the FUCK out of that clip, and Beto lost both elections but only by a slim margin.

    I’m not a 2A person, but I personally think if there was someone progressive like AOC or Bernie Sanders AND they touted gun ownership, they would be a winning candidate every single time.
