I listen to a local radio station here sometimes that plays independent music. As a result, for whatever reason, because its "independent" it often carries a lot of liberal undertones. Typically I either turn it off or don't care as I just like the good music that is sometimes played. I was flipping through the radio stations tonight on my drive home and caught the tail end of "Barroom Bob's" little speech that paraphrased was calling out all the people who voted for anyone other than Obama as "sore losers" who would lick the boots of billionaires. Furthermore they're separatists and if they don't like it they should find a different country to live in more suitable to their beliefs, unfortunately the only modern country who matches such beliefs would be North Korea. He clearly identified himself as a progressive. I'm going to have trouble ever tuning into that station again.
I don't think there's ever been such outspoken divide. Everyone seems to be drawing a line in the sand. I think its scary that if mob rule aka democracy can win an election then they feel it becomes "their" country and can throw anyone out that they like. To completely ignore the past, our history, our heritage, and our principles simply because mob rule can win.
I definitely don't label myself as a prepper, but to think I'd regret any preparation I've done up to this point would be insanity.
The day will soon be upon us all, whether we're ready for it or not.
