My area's been fine throughout all this. Though I expect that to change soon.

Same, my whole city feels on edge. Not boiled over, but with tensions tight and vandalism of both Biden and Trump signs being common. Its very clear both sides are primed, and its a swing state that gets close to 50/50 supports for each.

In my area, one place will have all Biden signs and the next one will have all Trump. Good things only last so long.

True, which is why you hope for the best as you prepare for the worst.

I am also curious about other weapon sales like knives, tasers, pepper spray, high powered bows, etc. Also home security items and systems.

You cannot find the nice pepper spray or bear mace anymore. Most of the sales are being reserved for police dept.s on the big stuff. For some retarded reason the people on the ground think bear mace is better and bought all of it up, at least in physical stores (can still get it online). All you end up doing is spraying everyone around you with that stuff.

Going after the cops is like going after "the law" and you're almost guaranteed to get maximum sentence they can justify.

If you actually kill one, in most places, yeah. But assaulting cops in NYC, Baltimore, Chicago and Philly is basically a hobby right now. One you get past the ride you can expect the prosecutor to drop the charges unless you caused permanent damage.

Ammunition topped off, food stores good, building supplies are ready. I am expecting my area to go ballistic and begin burning shit.

I have a comfortable amount of 5.56 but I still need various shells.

I live in a comically blue state, but the cities where I live and work aren't nutty. Still keeping at least one AR in the shop.

Breonna Taylor is different for a number of reasons, she's likeable with a clean record, the cops can't get their story straight, and their SEAL team LARPing didn't turn up any evidence. People can defend the cops here all they want but a city didn't pay out $12 million because they thought their officers did the right thing,

I Actually still don't know what exactly to make of this story because it was so botched, and I've heard two sides of the story when it co es to no knocks. But if anything good did come out of this story is that No-knocks could go the way of the Dino's

I actually didn't know that Walmart even sold firearms anymore. I think everyone sells ammo but I don't think you need a permit for that except in NJ and Cali (not sure)

Are any of you preparing for next week? No matter the election results, someone is going to flip out.

I'm not that well off so I just have some hand guns but lots of ammo. I've also got some pepper spray, knives and baseball bat, If things get really bad though I'll have more important things to do. I'm not to concerned food wise because my area hasn't had food shortages (lot of locally sourced stuff so supply disruptions are harder) probably will stock up. Overall my area had a few nights of rioting back in June but that was because the police were unprepared (nothing was going on because of the Covid) once they figured out that this shit was serious they brought the hammer down hard. Mostly quiet since then except for some people doing dance parties (no violence which even though I disagree with them I'm grateful that's it) The riots weren't really that bad and it just took a taste of the gas to make sure they never did that shit again.

I think the threat of violence is much higher if the election goes right, less so if it goes left at least initially so we will see.

One thing I would recommend everyone do is get a full tank of gas election day and a jerrycan if you have one. You don't want to get in a shootout at the gas station if shit gets crazy like that.

I'm wondering about kiwis talking about stockpiling food and ammo and other weapons. Do you live in a city? Granted, I feel like having extra food, ammo, batteries and other items on hand is a good thing even in times of peace because shit can happen. Nature can just say "nope". Color me optimistic though, but I feel like unless it's a predominantly blue city I doubt all hell will break loose. There will be upset people. Rioting like usual. Some violence. But apocalyptical shit everywhere? I don't feel it.

I'm in a tenuous situation right now. I'm technically moved out in a small town. The kind where you mostly see Trump signs, even on local storefronts. Besides that you'd never know there was a controversial election coming up. People are just carrying on like normal. However, I have a surgery coming up (the week of the election because of course) so I'm back in my home suburbs outside a big city so I can be closer. Biden signs all over the neighborhood, city is generally "purple". Still, when I go to the grocery store or other errands things are still "normal". Hopefully my procedure goes smoothly and I can go back to my new place asap and not worry about potential rioting.

I feel like most people just want to live their lives. They will be upset if their candidate loses, but they want to keep their lives together, go to work, take care of their families, and whatnot. I feel that the rioting minority can mess things up and definitely will regardless of who wins. But most people do NOT want this shit and don't participate in it.

Tl;dr: real life isn't like Twitter. Blue cities should be on alert though. Be prepared as much as you feel you need to. But get of the internet and go outside sometimes. The weather is nice right now.

Eh, I'll say it's good to be optimistic in times like these, can't really blame you either. Though I do agree with you it won't be WW3/1984 with an autistic twist, you have to look out especially in cities/towns where it's predominately Joe since people will go fucking bat-shit if you even attempt to say that Joe is as bad as Trump or he's something else. The take-away is to expect the unexpected, and adapt and overcome.

In live in a purple state, in a purple city, in a state which already had riots touch off once.

In a blue city technically, but I doubt anything serious will happen here. Got a few hundred shells in case though. If anything looks like it's starting I'm bugging out to the middle of bumfuck Oklahoma where some family live.

There's plenty of weeb shit if you're willing to give that a chance, or better yet, someone else pointed out the suggestion of diving into older media.

Really, anything before 2011 should be good most of the time.

The only "woke" media from the pre-2010's era are usually either really niche things like punk rock, postmodern literary fiction, the more overtly black supremacist elements of hip-hop, or lefty webcomics like the one lesbian feminist webcomic that gave us the "Bechdel Test" meme or it's literal communist propaganda from the Cold War and stuff like Marx and Kropotkin.

Even the "PC" media of the 90's were mostly just diversity by tokenism but were otherwise fairly benign and more silly and naïve than anything else. Compare and contrast something like the Burger King Kids Club to Woke Marvel or the ugly dark-skinned gender blobs in CalArts and Tumblr cartoons/comics.

The Burger King Kids Club was one of the more blatant attempts at "diversity" back in the day and is one of the more memetic examples of "90's PC Culture" but you didn't have any Critical Race Theory bullshit in it either.

It was just a bunch of kids and a dumb dog promoting a burger joint and they had the black kid, Latino kid, Asian kid, and the wheelchair kid mainly because they wanted to get more people from all over to buy their products. Part of it was an attempt at virtue signaling, but more importantly, it was to get more minority kids to try and pester their parents to buy a kid's meal.

For fuck's sake, the coolest character and main leader of the club was a blonde and physically fit White male who was into vidya and cyberpunk/sci-fi future shit. Kid Vid literally was a strange hybrid of a proto-Chad and a gamer bro twenty years before either of those were a widely known thing.

Seriously, watch older movies and play older games. Listen to older music like classic rock and oldies hits, read older books. Sail the high seas if you have to.

I've found reading fanfiction helps me. Harder to add woke stuff to a work that already exists, and when it is added, it's clear to see and avoid.

Yes, yes, I know, autism, wish fulfillment, lower quality, "it's all just porn", etc. etc. But I abandoned new media in mid-2015, and other than the occasional branch-out I'm totally satisfied.

Fictionpress.net also has high quality works that are original fiction, so I would recommend that as well.

Now gimme those puzzle pieces for mentioning fanfiction.
