Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, I've been collecting and cycling water/food/ammo since Obama was elected. I hate to feel like this, to be "that guy," but I want to be prepared when the white nationalists make their move. I need to ensure that I can defend myself and my neighbors if possible. I really should join local mutual aid groups and gun clubs, but my mixture of depression and being on the spectrum makes that an exhausting proposition. I just ensure that my neighbors know my name and that I'm helpful in small ways. That way, if shtf, they'll be more likely to trust and cooperate with me.
Remember hording guns and ammo isn't the only way to prepare for this. Learning to grow food, and engaging you local community is just as important, but it seems you know that.
I've turned into that guy after January 6th, I've even moved to make sure my family was safer. Something is coming I'm not sure what it is but I intend to make sure America doesn't have a fascist phase.
Fortunately, I know how to grow plants and mushrooms, as well as hunt. I live in the city, so I don't have the facilities to do anything of sufficient size, but I am able.
Sounds like you're a couple steps ahead of me. Only other advice I'd have is get a 3d printer most people think of them as toys, but in a world where a broken part means you get water or not a 3d printer is going to be invaluable.
I've been looking into aquaponics lately it seems temperamental but extremely sustainable once you get the rhythm.
I'm not sure I have the space for one, but I can certainly start familiarizing myself with their use at the library.
