Why we should all be Preppers - even those on the Left

As prepping becomes more socially acceptable by the day, many rank-and-file liberals are now starting to focus their thinking towards the benefits of "ethical prepping" (I possibly just coined a phrase?). I do not include specific members of the Global Elite in this depiction, as they have clearly been prepping for reasons similar to Conservatives (SHTF/ The Event) for many years now. The term "ethical prepping" refers to the emerging motivation of left-wing/socialist types to engage in prepping for subjectively acceptable reasons such as getting ready for a severe event caused by Climate Change, while saving their money, supply chains and the planet. Current estimates put at least 10% of Americans, of all political persuasions, in the 'prepper' tent and this number is rising rapidly.

Let us know if you think the trend will continue to motivate the political left.

Why Progressives Should Become ‘Preppers’
