More young Americans are doomsday prepping ahead of the next presidential election over fears of a societal collapse or failed natural disaster response, a survey has found.
Gen-Z, adults born after 1997, is the most likely to be preparing for a disaster with a whooping 40 percent claiming to have spent money on doomsday supplies in the past year, according to a Finder survey.
The survey of 2,179 US adults was conducted from January 9 to February 17 and has a two percent margin of error. Finder - who has been collecting prepping data since 2017 - asked people if they had spent money preparing for emergencies over the last twelve months.

Perhaps they are smarter than we think.
Of course, ten cans of beans and a case of Ramen Noodles with a 24 pack of water bottles isn't much in the way of "prep".

Well, what did we expect? Barry Hussein ran to transform our nation and won twice.

If they are serious about this, they would also be buying guns.

The Gen Z snowflakes I've heard in interviews are not people who cope well. I can't believe that they represent the majority of Gen Z. Then again, time will tell. I have wondered about how well the progressives will respond to Trump's election. Maybe we'll hear screams in the night for four years.

Gen Z, probably the most debilitated group of students by being subjected to fascist professors at subversive universities.

Since this bunch of depressed, helpless, whiney babies get their information from Tick Tok, CNN, & MSNBS, and are continually told that it is the end of democracy if Trump is reelected, Republicans take over Congress, and that the US is spiraling towards fascism by conservative policies. It is no wonder these snowflakes are melting. Of course, if the were not indoctrinated in liberal theology, they could think for themselves and realize all of the liberal fear mongering has been happening for years and years and never happened. They would see that it was their liberal overlords doing what they fear.

A silly, psy-ops article from the left, trying to scare the right into thinking twice before messing with the left if it comes to civil war. I’ve seen and worked with this generation. Believe me, prepping would take far too much time and energy away from their “real life” in their cell phone. But, notice the frequency of these doomsday articles now, with a third Trump presidency on the horizon?

I find this hard to believe but then it is the DMUK. Most parents' basements do not have enough space for the bed, Xbox and big screen to find enough storage area for emergency supplies.

We are Boomers. We have cash, gold, silver and several weeks of food and other supplies set aside just in case. Our kids are Millennials. They all have similar (but smaller) caches set aside. In the event of a long term societal collapse, our kids will just need to get their families to our land in rural West Texas, where we have a river for fishing and water, game for hunting, solar powered batteries for the freezer, power tools, and lights, and enough guns and ammo to make it for several years.
