I live out in the middle of nowhere. You can't see my house from the road. I'm good on ammo, and there is enough food walking around here on four legs, or swimming in the lake, or growing out of the earth to last a lifetime. I'm short on two things, fuel and prescription medicines. I'm thinking of getting a 500 gal fuel tank. That would solve the fuel problem. My generator will run the whole house but I only keep enough fuel for a few days. But prescription drugs is almost impossible to stock up on.

our prescriptions now are limited by VA for blood pressure to a30 day supply because of shortages, so i have been reading up on how to live with them or ration them to stay safe. 2x times now i have run down to 2 days before my meds arrived.

No real preparations.

I'll be at work that evening until 2100 and will be following the results just like 2016. Hopefully, I'll be happy on my way home again.

Either way, I'll be back at work the next day and will hopefully try and keep from smiling too much because a couple of my co-workers are die-hard liberals that hate Trump. It wouldn't surprise me at all if either or both of them called in sick if Trump wins.

It may be a bit morbid, but since I work in a hospital laboratory, Trump winning again might be good for business. Am I a horrible person for even saying that? I hope and pray it isn't true if he does win.

Hurricane prep plus

I have meds for a while because I've been planning ahead.
However...
I think all the medical issues I take meds for could be cured by losing 20 pounds. Unfortunately that is now 35 pounds because of "The Covid 15"

I still have about half of the small rifle primers I bought around November 2008. And, the same .22 LR I bought around November 2012. I do not have a enough ammo for a true Texan because I can still fit both vehicles in the garage.

For this election, I am trying to lower my expectations.
I think Trump will seem to win on election night but the dems will pull enough 'mail in' ballets from the trunks of their cars to push Biden over the top. The surprise ballets will be disputed and it's 50/50 who will win after the court battles.
If the final result is Trump wins, the Dems will claim that he stole the election for the next 4 years.
No matter what, the riots, looting, and protests will die out in a few weeks after November 3rd. Americans have had about enough of that nonsense.

We will probably watching the elections returns fall out. I don't know what to expect but I think it will be exciting. Planning on ordering out to Jason's Deli, maybe David's BBQ here in Arlington. In any event, it will be exciting.

I agree. The Democrats are already laying the ground work for trying to steal the election.

Im more concerned with the reaction when the officers charged with George Floyd's death are acquitted, which is very likely. That will/would trigger a massive social explosion beyond anything we've seen. Current trial date is March 8.

I agree that there is more concern for that event than for the election results. I personally believe that the election results will likely be a repeat of 2016 as far as backlash from the losing party.

Then so be it. But I don't think they will be acquitted. They will be sacrificed on the alter of politics.
