(The Economic Collapse Blog)—I really wish that everyone would just calm down. Emotions always run high immediately after an election, but what we are witnessing this time around is truly frightening. We live at a time when people feel free to express their deepest, darkest emotions on social media, and right now “freak out video” after “freak out video” is going viral.
A lot of people out there literally feel like the world is ending just because Donald Trump won the election. My hope is that this temper tantrum will start to subside in the days ahead, but I am not sure that it will.
According to a YouGov/Economist survey that was unveiled on Friday, 47 percent of those that voted for Kamala Harris believe that Trump will not be a legitimate president…
Nearly half of all Kamala Harris supporters do not believe that President-elect Donald Trump legitimately won the election.
A YouGov/Economist survey released Friday found that 47 percent of Harris supporters do not accept that Trump is the legitimate president.
The pollsters report, “75% of registered voters — including 53% of Harris voters and 97% of Trump voters — say they accept that Trump is the legitimate president.”
That is chilling.
How is someone supposed to run the country if there are tens of millions of people that do not consider your presidency to be legitimate?
This is going to be a major problem.
Another survey has found that 54 percent of Harris voters would like to move out of the country, but only 10 percent “definitely” or “probably” will…
Of Harris voters, 5% say they will definitely relocate and 5% say they probably will. Another 44% would like to move but probably (27%) or definitely (17%) won’t. Of those who would like to move but are unlikely to, personal finances, family, and community ties are what will keep them in place.
Of those pondering or planning a move, 90% are considering moving to another country and 80% to another state. The top countries respondents are considering moving to are Canada (41%), the United Kingdom (19%), and Mexico (16%). Top states respondents are considering moving to are California (14%), New York (8%), and Colorado (8%).
Even if just 10 percent of Harris voters end up moving out of the United States, that would still be an absolutely enormous exodus.
According to that same survey, abortion is the number one issue that is motivating people to consider relocating…
The top issues driving respondents’ reasons for wanting to relocate include concerns over a potential federal ban on abortion (61%), increased racial inequality (55%), and the possibility that progressive rights may be overturned (54%).
Additionally, respondents are worried about a reduction in healthcare access (54%) and increased social inequality (53%). A lack of gun regulation (50%), environmental deregulation (43%), and the weakening of public education (44%) are also major concerns.
Did these people that are so concerned about abortion not see the election results?
As I shared with my core supporters on Friday, this election was actually a gigantic victory for those that are pro-abortion…
Abortion was on the ballot in 10 states. In 8 of those states, a majority of voters backed the pro-abortion position, in 1 state (South Dakota) a majority of voters rejected the pro-abortion position, and in 1 state (Nebraska) it is still too close to call.
In the red states of Missouri, Montana, Arizona and Nevada, voters overwhelmingly established a “right” to abortion.
Of course this just continues a nationwide trend that we have seen since Roe v. Wade was overturned. When abortion is on the ballot, pro-life forces have lost almost every single time.
Of course most liberals aren’t focused on those results. Instead, they are just freaking out because Trump is headed back to the White House.
Over the past several days, lots of videos of women cutting off their hair because Kamala Harris lost have started to appear on TikTok…
There are several other videos floating across social media — namely, TikTok — featuring liberal women mourning Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss by shaving their heads in defiance.
In another video, a woman sits while another starts chopping off her hair. According to the caption throughout the video, the woman believes shaving one’s head is the only thing “we have left to control ourselves.”
“We will continue to fight and stand with every woman and minority,” the screen reads. It remains unclear how lopping off locks of hair helps the women and minorities the group claims to care about.
I don’t understand this. How is cutting off your hair going to solve anything?
Others have been expressing their defiance by fantasizing about death and violence. For example, a physician’s assistant in Philadelphia is hoping that the daughter of every woman that voted for Trump “has an ectopic pregnancy”…
A physician’s assistant in obstetrics and gynecology has been terminated from a Philadelphia hospital after expressing a desire for deadly retribution against the daughters and grandchildren of voters who supported Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Nicole M. Hart issued a post on social media stating, “To every woman that voted for Trump, I hope your daughter has an ectopic pregnancy,” referring to a rare medical condition in which a fertilized egg grows on the exterior of a woman’s uterus.
The condition can cause both the mother and child to die. Ectopic pregnancies are not considered viable pregnancies. Jefferson Health Hospital in Philadelphia confirmed Friday that Hart has been terminated from her position.
Even more alarming is the fact that so many women have been searching the Internet for a poison called Aqua Tofana…
Internet searches for Aqua Tofana—a potent poison created in Sicily around 1630 by a woman named Giulia Tofana, or Tofania, and historically used by women to free themselves from relationships by killing men—spiked shortly after the election results.
On social media, some lunatics have been suggesting that Aqua Tofana should be used on those that supported Trump…
This new movement is called MATGA – make aqua tofana great again, it’s teaching women how to POIS☠️N Trump supporters with plants and flowers!
I have never seen so much anger in the aftermath of an election.

At first major leftist organizations were in shock, but now they are starting to organize protests…
Democrats have activated their network of social justice warriors for the second time in days following a Trump victory early Wednseday morning. The latest mobilization effort of far-left activists by mysterious and dark money-funded nonprofit groups is occurring on the streets of New York City on Saturday afternoon.
X user Open Source Intel uploaded footage of what appears to be thousands of anti-Trump protesters in Midtown Manhattan.
“Thousands march in Midtown Manhattan as New York City law enforcement monitors. Protesters rally against fascism, deportation, anti-trans hate, and systemic oppression, expressing concerns over Donald Trump’s election as the 47th President,” the X user said, adding, “Chants of “Racist, sexist, anti-gay” and signs highlight their solidarity for marginalized communities.”
As I warned the other day, this is just the beginning.
We are entering an extremely chaotic period in our history, and politically-motivated rage is going to fuel much of that chaos.
Sadly, hatred and bitterness are about to eat us alive, and the divisions that have been tearing this country apart are about to get a whole lot deeper.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
these azzclowns are effing MENTAL!!
If they’ll murder their own unborn child, they’ll murder anyone …
Back in the 1990s, I referred a book I had just read, written by scholar Thomas Sowell, to a bank VP I had known through work. She thought I was a total wacko, but Scholar Sowell’s predictions for 2020 young people, based upon the perversity of public education, appear quite accurate!
Further back, in 1978, a fellow affiliated with the Deep State law firm Covington & Burling (wasn’t aware of their ststus back then) explained how the Rockefeller Plan he had been briefed on said the design was for mass dumbing down of North America by 2020, with the Soviet Union being dissolved in 1990/1991?!
Thought he was full of himself and never quite accepted what he claimed, until the Soviet Union dissolved at that time frame! Later they rebranded the Rockefeller Plan as the Great Reset!
Much less skeptical today …….
“How is someone supposed to run the country if there are tens of millions of people that do not consider your presidency to be legitimate?”
The last guy just let others do it. Fortunately, DJT is better than that.
I am not really worried about the lemmings..
MSM turned them into mindless followers, an actual reverse programming fro the TRUMP era MSM, will guide the lemmings back to happy productive lemming lives.
All Harris supporters should leave the country and relocate to a socialist utopia somewhere.
These assclowns are already so deluded that the best course of action is to persuade them to commit suicide asap. A win-win, they get to leave for good, and we get our country back without the incessant nagging.
At least these psychos are identifying themselves by shaving all their hair off.
When WW2 ended the women traitors in France were, by law, required to shave their heads on pain of execution. There were no male traitor survivors! So we know a shaved head on women, (sans the obvious medical reasons), is an act of deep shame.
As far as I’m concerned anti-Americans, non-Americans in their hearts , minds and souls, treasonous Americans and outright illegal alien invader foreigners should be ELSEWHERE! We DON’T want them! We DON’T need them. They are tremendously ‘unwelcome’! They HATE “We, The people” and everything we stand for! They are the enemies of “We, The People”! So why SHOULD “We, The People” allow them to remain among us???? Why not invite a dozen or so rattlesnakes into your home? It’s pretty much the same thing as letting the enemy remain among us! They are going to strike you at will.
Other than enjoying the meltdown videos, I truly don’t care what happens to these people. Trump won. It was a landslide. Game over.
The level of mental illness in America is concerning. I wish the nuts would move. Only one condition. They can NEVER come back.
As far as I’m concerned anti-Americans, non-Americans in their hearts , minds and souls, treasonous Americans and outright illegal alien invader foreigners should be elsewhere! We don’t want them! We don’t need them. They are tremendously ‘unwelcome’! They hate “We, The people” and everything we stand for! They are the enemies of “We, The People”! So why should “We, The People” allow them to remain among us???? Why not invite a dozen or so rattlesnakes into your home? It’s pretty much the same thing as letting the enemy remain among us! They are going to strike you at will. Way to dumb down the population with ‘written speech’ restrictions.
“On social media, some lunatics have been suggesting that Aqua Tofana should be used on those that supported Trump…”
I was thinking they should just guzzle some of that stuff themselves. No more whining.
So, 47% of those who voted for Harris are election deniers? Seems so.
The Left’s core constituency is the emotionally unstable – intentionally. (Not an insult, per se, just a fact.) The emotionally unstable generate more clicks and, as a result, have more reach and more engagement. Keep in mind that the Left does not want morality, justice, freedom, or any of the other traditional desires of Conservatives. The Left wants one thing, Power. The emotionally unstable surrender their own power while simultaneously becoming a weapon to attack the United States. The emotionally unstable give the Left the Power it so desperately craves.
We are a free country which means you are free to leave. They should give up their passports & never be allowed back. The communist party USA didn’t even run a candidate in the last 4 election cycles.They endorsed the democrat because their views are identical . Why go to Canada or England Cuba is 90 miles away
On the local news in the DFW area today they showed a clip with a guy talking about how it was widely accepted as fact, by the Democrats, that immigrants flooding into the US would vote Blue, not Red, and that such an opinion might not turn out to be so valid, after all. I was like, “WHAT?” That’s exactly what people have been saying (replacement theory) is a total conspiracy theory, and now he was just like, “Well Democrats thought this…” so another conspiracy theory is verified.
