Read Replies (1) | Respond to Liberal Preppers Are “Tired Of Being Perceived As Wusses” – Stock Up On Guns, Food As Trumpocalypse Looms By wkchild on January 19, 2017 1 Zero Hedge Submitted by Shane Dixon Kavanaugh via Vocativ the survivalist movement — long a pastime of the right — is picking up progressive converts fast. 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.” “We’re tired of being perceived as wusses who won’t survive when shit hits the fan,” said Stacy, a Texas Democrat who recently caught the prepper bug. She spoke with Vocativ on the condition we not publish her last name. “I, for one, don’t like to be thought of as some precious snowflake.” Those who spoke with Vocativ have envisioned scenarios that could lead to military coups led by loyalists of the president-elect and internment camps packed with political opponents, bloody social unrest and an all-out civil or nuclear war. Sound bonkers? Perhaps. But, for many, so was the prospect of a President Trump.Liberal Preppers Are “Tired Of Being Perceived As Wusses” – Stock Up On Guns, Food As Trumpocalypse Looms | Zero Hedge
