Seattle Storm Liberals
Posted by KIWIGUYUSA@reddit | preppers | View on Reddit | 33 comments
I am a prepper. I live in Sesttle. Half of Seattle has no power due to a huge storm. Everyone is running around like it’s the end of the world. NO ONE is prepared. People sometimes tease me for religiously ensuring we have go bags everywhere. Plenty of emergency food, power generator, lithium backups etc. Our generator runs the house, multiple portable Jackerys have been loaned out to those who need them (we have many of them) We have food, water, (ammo) and all we need. I tell everyone here to take the time to be prepared and they all stare at me with blank face here..

Your post has been removed because it breaks our rules on post quality. Posts must be directly related to preparedness, have substance and be for the purpose of seeking information and/or generating a discussion, not just informing of an event, product, or video.
In addition, posts should not be framed in political terms because that violates our rule of focusing on prepping rather than politics. Posts that fail to follow this rule almost invariably devolve into political discussion threads, as this one already has.
If you wish to discuss specific lessons learned and frame them in apolitical terms, you are welcome to modify your post and re-submit.

Ah yes, generalizing all ppl around you as liberals as some back handed swipe at their intelligence and lack of of being prepared. Solid move mf.
Artpinpen@reddit
Most of Seattle is a liberal shithole
preppers-ModTeam@reddit
Derogatory language
Space_Guardian_907@reddit
Honestly I've been to most cities in the US and Seattle is no worse off than any other.
11systems11@reddit
Yeah, no different that calling everyone that voted for the guy with the red tie a n*zi or fascist.
FallJacket@reddit
How many people that display nazi symbolism do you see supporting liberal candidates?
11systems11@reddit
Just your mom
FallJacket@reddit
Okay, but no matter how fat she is that's still not a statistically significant sample size.
ManliestManHam@reddit
', mom's so fat she supports liberal candidates' is fucking me uuuppp
Ridiculouslyrampant@reddit
It’s not actually. Because I’m pretty sure voting for a fascist makes you one. It was a choice…
11systems11@reddit
Lol was totally waiting for some jackass to chime in.
Ridiculouslyrampant@reddit
Yeah. You’re welcome. Sorry I actually care about other people and am educated and intellectually curious.
KIWIGUYUSA@reddit (OP)
Wut? Ummm Seattle one of the most liberal cities in the US. No generalizing here. just stating a fact.
No-Profit9477@reddit
Found a liberal
Safe-Dragonfruit-966@reddit
Well, most are, aren't they
Space_Guardian_907@reddit
Yeah, I have to say I disagree with the whole liberal thing. My brother has always voted blue, but he's one of the most prepped people I know besides myself.
Ridiculouslyrampant@reddit
Yeah there’s a bunch, they just generally aren’t people shooting at winter storms.
Space_Guardian_907@reddit
Honestly, I'm not going to lie. Sometimes, I'm jealous of him. He lives out of RV with solar power, and he can just drive away from any situation, and he's well stocked up on medical supplies and food. We both were hunting since we were eight, so I know he can't get food from the story he'll just go and find it, LOL.
Ridiculouslyrampant@reddit
I’m not sure I could do RV full time, but if it were just me it would be mighty tempting.
Space_Guardian_907@reddit
Oh, I hear that, I think my daughters would contemplate murdering each other with such little space.

This thread serves absolutely no purpose and should be removed.
KIWIGUYUSA@reddit (OP)
A lot of hate on this thread - ffs! First of all, I am a liberal. Liberal prepper, gun owner— all that shit. Yes, we do exist. BUT in my experience, Seattle is at the extremes end (aka- the govt exists to save me and I do t need to prepare type) of the liberal scale
HibariNoScope69@reddit
Cool story
This thread still serves absolutely zero purpose
This sub is not your diary nor a deposit for your simultaneous self aggrandizing and political nonsense
KIWIGUYUSA@reddit (OP)
Someone had a bad day! Are you always such a dick?
KIWIGUYUSA@reddit (OP)
Wut?
Striking_Mushroom313@reddit
My favourite thing about this post is how clumsily you’ve attempted to introduce a conversation point that’s of no interest or relevance. It’s so friggin uncomfortable to make preparation for a storm some kind of show off moment at your very much perceived enemies.
RoboDurp@reddit
Right? When there is all this talk about community and neighbors, etc, and this dude is like, nah, I'm going to post on reddit and try to take a piss and miss. They are not smart.
Space_Guardian_907@reddit
Damn homie let it rip
FallJacket@reddit
Who is making fun of people for these things?
Maybe it's the company I keep (which is pretty diverse) but I've only heard people agree with the idea of sensible preparedness.
KIWIGUYUSA@reddit (OP)
Just the super liberal med who have time to scroll FB all day but not spend time thinking about being prepared
cellardoor_7@reddit
Dude I bet you prep so hard.
Ridiculouslyrampant@reddit
Especially somewhere like Seattle with volcanos, lahars, and the CSZ risk.
