I consider myself a pretty level headed, easy going, figure things out kind of person. Not overreacting to things and assuming things will turn out ok in the end.

This trump thing has me worried. To the point that I'm thinking it might be smart to take some precautions. Doomsday prep kind of stuff. Stock food, water, medicines, etc.

I've never had thoughts like these. But after his first day in office and the feeling of what's coming. Idk.

Please tell me I'm overreacting and everything's gonna be fine. Right?

You're not overreacting and it's better to be safe than sorry.

I've put together this helpful questionnaire to find out if you're fucked

Q: Are you mexican, or another 1st or 2nd generation immigrant, particulary a non-white one?
A: Sorry, you're fucked almost immediately

Q: Are you a non-binary or queer person?
A: Sorry, you're fucked almost immediately

Q: Are you a person with an auto-immune disorder, or other condition that makes you more susceptible to viruses and diseases?
A: Sorry, you're fucked in the not distant future

Q: Are you a minority, but otherwise a citizen and cis and straight?
A: You're fucked but in a more subtle way

Q: Do you care about the environment, owning stuff, not being a peasant?
A: Sorry, you're fucked for the rest of your life

Q: Are you a white, cis, heteronormative person with a steady reasonably high paying job?
A: You might not be immediately fucked

I mean, its really not a bad idea to have that stuff anyway. Just in case of emergency.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

If things are ever fucked to the extent that I would need to be a prepper to survive . . .

I'll take the non-prepper option.

Was our response to COVID-19 under Trump fine? How many died?

I mean it's not a bad idea to have a pantry with supplies in it anyway - whatever is going on in the world.

I always am stocked of food and water to cover at least 2 weeks worth. I fear for my children's futures, especially my daughter.

Don't bother with doomsday prepping. Not because you shouldn't be afraid of what's to come, but because nothing you can do is going to save you.

Its unpredictable what will happen, but Im worried as well. I know much didnt change last time, but its like Trump 2.0 vendetta this time around. He's a man on a clear cut mission and doesnt care much about consequences.

Ugh. Was talking to the wife about it and she agrees. Think it's time to take some precautions. Maybe not like extreme fallout shelter, but definitely start stocking up on some things.

If you are a rich, white, cis male with no dependants, health issues then you might be OK.

But even then probably not.

A: Sorry, you're f***ed for the rest of your life
Not saying that Trump's response to the environment won't be shit, but that ship already sailed, sadly.
Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts.
