I 100% agree that it looks bad and have made almost the same argument you make to anyone who voted for Trump, i.e. "congrats, but how is this actually going to work?".

I'm concerned, as any rational person should be. Not quite ready to start stocking up on pork and beans just yet.

My point was simply that "doomsday preppers" have traditionally been "conservatives", concerned more about loss of privilege than an actual societal breakdown. I just thought that Mr. Anderson's "nanny, nanny, boo-boo" comment needed refuting. ;)
