      Some will be violent. Some will be vocal. Some will grumble and move on. The violent ones will be the ones who make the evening news. They may also cause serious disruptions.

      For the most part, I think you should prepare for disruption equivalent to a blizzard or hurricane. Stock up on canned foods. Get containers for water. Order Life Straws if you don’t have them already. Stock up on batteries and charge any rechargeables you have. Make sure you know where your flashlights are. Load up on propane tanks for your grill and have a plan for how to use your grill safely. Add to that self-defence tools in case of civil disturbances in your area – we’re going to keep non-lethal but still painful self-defence tools for our self-protection. And then wait things out and try to stay safe. Check in on your neighbours, and stuff like that. I wrote an article on what I think you should do to survive Election 2024 with more details.

      Catatonic and quietly insane.

      They scream and cry but they’re ball-less pussies and they know what happened the last time they actually tried something. This time we wouldn’t restrain ourselves nearly as much.
