      As in, you’re baffled that people agree with the comment, and are upvoting it? Because it expresses a desire for an opposition politician to make real, meaningful, pragmatic preparations for the descent into fascism that we’re currently experiencing?

      Never did recreational drugs nor beer in my life. Lots of history books, though. In them, many governments turned to dust, and the US government has been deliberately creating the conditions to kill itself:

      Manufactured famine and disaster by dissolving the NOAA weather service alongside FEMA, unchecked greed by the wealthy that is causing workers to give up on their careers, the abandonment of our science, medicine, and food standards, betrayal of our minority soldiers and civilians, de-legitimizing the rule of law, the loss of our foreign relations and trade, and more.

      It is very likely that famine, plague, poverty, war, chaos, and death are the horsemen of our future.
