Colorado
Probably the ultimate dream for many of us preppers is to have that cabin in the woods for our survival retreat.
Many of us would take that a step farther and just move into the cabin permanently, forgetting the city and living off-grid. I’ve wanted that for years, but I’d also want my patch of woods to be close enough to the city, that I could go into town for groceries, restaurants, movies, and trips to the hardware store, without it taking all day.
As our population grows, finding that ideal place to buy such a property is becoming harder and harder. It’s not that there isn’t any land out there, but rather, the land that’s either exorbitantly priced or not so desirable. Still, there is land available, if you know where to look.

Of course, that land may not be all that convenient to get to. That’s something else to take into consideration.
If you live in New York and buy land for a prepper getaway, otherwise known as a survival shelter, in Kentucky, will you be able to get there in a time of crisis? Probably not. But you could move to Kentucky and find a job there or find a way to telecommute from your new prepper property in Kentucky.
Before we look at some potential states to buy your dream property in, let’s take a moment to look at some criteria that you need to consider:
With that in mind, here are the top states I can find for building a prepping property in. Some actually have widespread communities of people who are all preppers or properties which are sold just for preppers.

If you can afford it, the Colorado Rockies has to be the ideal place for a prepping paradise.
Maybe I’m a bit prejudiced because I grew up there and my first experiences in survival training were there, but I tend to think of the mountains of Colorado when I think of survival retreats.
But then, they have everything you might need, including good rainfall (or snowfall), lots of trees and lots of game.
Idaho and the Western part of Montana are rapidly becoming a prepper paradise, with lots of people buying property there.
The population is lower than that in Colorado, there’s good rainfall and plenty of game; maybe more than in Colorado.
The one drawback to this area is the high latitude, which means you’ll have a short growing season and a long winter to deal with.
Tennessee is probably the state with the most land being sold specifically for prepping homesteads.
The rolling hills and mountains of the state make for a beautiful setting; one with lots of trees and plentiful game.
There’s lots of rain too. It’s also in the east, which is an advantage for a lot of people.
Yet, even though it’s in the east, there are parts of the state which have low population densities, especially in the western part of the state. While not ideal, if I had to pick a state east of the Mississippi, this is the first one I’d think of.
Another good state, east of the Mississippi, is West Virginia.
The first thing that brought this state to my attention as a survival destination was that it was the last state to have a coronavirus case show up.
While I have no idea of why that’s so, it speaks well of the isolation that you can find in the West Virginia mountains.
The “land of a thousand lakes” has a lot to offer, especially in the northern part of the state.
Not only will you never have to worry about having enough water to drink, but there’s lots of wild county up there, which isn’t widely settled.
At the same time, the rivers that go with all those lakes make for a good means of transportation, if you need it. Watch out for the politics though; this is a blue state.
For a state on the West Coast, I’d pick Oregon, even if it is a blue state.
Of the three states making up our west coast, Oregon is the least populated.
Like northern California, there are a lot of conservative people there, especially once you get out of the cities. Being on the west coast also means a lot of rain, so water isn’t going to be an issue. Having been there, I can assure you, the land is very fertile.
One place I feel constrained to mention, even though it is thought of as a good place for survival properties, is West Texas.
There’s a good reason for that, there’s almost no ground water and it doesn’t rain a lot. So if you want water, you’re going to have to drill for it; and you’re going to have to drill deep. While that may not be an issue for some; it’s a cost you must consider.
On the other hand, if you can find some land in the Texas Hill Country, I’d definitely consider it. While you’ll still have to drill ways to find water, it won’t be anywhere near as bad. Being that far south, you can get in three growing seasons, with a break for the heat of summer. Besides, it’s Texas.

Your blog sounds very interesting,we would like more info of where it’s located and what you are asking for the property….
We would like more info on this property, where it’s located and what is your asking price…
How much is the land your selling per acre.
OK I will be the bad guy on the chain. Why are you selling it if it is so perfect? Our land has been in the family since 1949 and I am third generation on it. It is so perfect we will never sell it and have kept it even when we had to move to other states for careers or income.
What about Wyoming? Least populated state in the union and most conservative. Lots of snow in the winter for water. Land is fairly inexpensive. In every corner of the state and in-between, small towns offer Walmart, movie theater(s), hardware/lumber stores, etc. For an international airport and items you need to go to a big city for: Within an hour or so of access to large Colorado towns in the SE part of the state (Cheyenne also has a pretty good sized airport). Within an hour or so of access to large Utah towns in the SW part of the state. Same distance to Idaho Falls and Pocatello, ID in the NW part of the state. Within an hour of so of access to Rapid City, South Dakota in NE part of the state.
Please do NOT advertise Wyoming. We got enough foreignersgtrying to change us as it is.
Love your reply! My daughter married a man from Wyoming and lives there. I fly our plane into Cheyenne when we visit and love the FBO there. We take off from home, climb to 7000 feet and fly level all the way to Cheyenne while watching the ground come up and get closer every mile. By the time we reach the airport we are at pattern altitude (still at 7000 feet) and land! ;-D
Yes, I’m sure and some New Yorkers too! Some of us are well seasoned, well travelled, highly skilled and can readily go with the flow. Others, I’m afraid will do their very best to make sure Wyoming becomes the next NYC! Here we call it gentrification. Just a fancy word for making oneself at home in the manner to which they are accustomed! They will start demanding all sorts of public services and amenities that they are used to here. They will cause an awful lot of trouble if they don’t get it too! Did a lot of damage out on LI, NY. We would be very happy to get rid of them so don’t think we’d do anything to hold them back! Heck, Cuomo is pushing them out the door!
I agree,Wyoming would make a fantastic state for this,and is my destination soon.
If you like wind and to be blown off the prairie constantly then Wyoming is your state! I live in NE Colorado very close to Wyoming and have driven up into it many times. Of course Jackson Hole and the Tetons are beautiful if you can afford to live there. We are looking for land and to move as well. We had thought about Casper once visited it and the wind blows all the time! Nice town but I can’t handle the wind every day it would literally drive me nuts!
Sounds like a good place for wind turbine to solve power problems ,down here we have no wind or tooo much wind,tornadoes and wind storms are too common .lower Alabama.
20 acres in Northern WA state. Okanogan Co. a LOT of state and natl. forest land. Well, septic in. Game is plentiful. Leave your Blue state tendencies home. In my neck of the woods having a Biden sign on your fence is not a good thing. Go to the Seattle megapolis for that. Land is fertile. Land prices are still very reasonable. LOL gun fire is the sound of a social event for us!
I live in oroville, where i okanogan Co is this located and how much is the asking price?

I no longer consider Colorado to be a good retreat location, not even up in the high country. The politics of the state have taken a distinct turn toward the liberal side and water is getting scarcer all the time, which means wildfire danger is a year-round issue these days. Also, the growing season is very short. We were on the Front Range, at 8400′ above sea level and saw snow in our yard every month of the year except August. The higher you go, the fewer growing days you have. And don’t count on wild game keeping you fed. Once the weather tuns cold, they head for the lower elevations, which means that winter can be pretty lean.
We are now in West Texas. While clean water can be an issue, it is available by drilling a well, which you need to do in Colorado, too. The gun laws are friendlier than they are becoming in Colorado, the growing season is much longer, game out in the rural areas is plentiful and lots of neighbors have cattle that they might be willing to sell or trade when TSHTF. There is plenty of land available, if you know where to look or find a realtor who does and you will find plenty of like-minded folks around. Plus the people here are friendlier than the folks in Colorado. Good ole’ Southern hospitality is alive and well out here!
Plus, lower property taxes and no state income tax. And I think we have most of the Left Coast Liberals scared to show up, whereas they have invaded Colorado in growing numbers over the past 20 years that we were there.
you are correct to much influx of illegals gangs and californians
I live in Ms. on a 5 acre family homestead that has been in my family since the 1800’s. I will die here as did my father and grandfather.
Hurricanes?
Where can you live, anywhere on this planet, where the threat of a natural disaster can’t threaten you?
The very definition of being a prepper is preparing for whatever may befall you.
Find a place where you are happy and enjoy your life. Preparing for tomorrow will not do you any good if it doesn’t relieve a lifetime of worrying about a future you have no control over anyway.
Men plan, God laughs!
Be happy.
West Texas actually gets a fair amount of precipitation, mostly in the form of thunderstorms and Pacific/Mexico typhoon carryovers. A rainwater containment system would do the trick. Plus land out there is “dirt” cheap. Its just so damn hot in July/August.
I live in northern Va. West Virginia seems to be the closest state where I can find a property that could meet a preppers needs. I have looked myself but don’t know how to find a suitable place. Can you help me locate properties in West Virginia that would be good for preppers?
May be difficult to get land in WV, the land there seldom is put up for sale and most is obtained via family lines. My daughter-in-law’s land has been in the family for over 150 years. Best option to seek is via the land specialist realtors like Mossy Oak or Whitetail.
What about North Carolina?
You get all four seasons, there are mountains, ocean, lots of woods, and no crazy gun laws.
What about the State of Georgia ?
I’m sorry. You failed to mention the geological hazard associated with many of your recomendations. They are very real and activating roght now. In addition Lone Wolf preppers are sitting ducks. It will take a community to protect your assets.
Long Time prepper, you’re right. Besides the huge Cascadia subduction zone ready to go, there’s the dozens of volcanoes that will go off in succession. The geologists talk about this behind closed doors, but not publicly. They’re actively watching this area currently.
Arizona is a good place. Good gun laws and if you have a rain gathering plan,plenty will fall during monsoons.
yea, you guys stay north where you belong. DO NOT GO SOUTH! you would not like it and we would not like you. really, trust me on this
I’ve lived and worked down south and I was always greeted with friendly and warm Southern Hospitality! Wouldn’t want to live there permanently though because there is no place like home! That said, years ago now, NY Newsday , a local paper here, reported on mass migration to the south, particularly to the Atlanta Area by people of color who migrated north during the 1950s. According to the article, these people now realize that there no longer was any need for them to stay in the northern states, they had means and they could return to their southern roots for a better quality of life. That’s still going on. Seems almost every family is fed up with the big city and looking to move south. They do not welcome the Middle Eastern foreigners coming into their neighborhoods.
While certain areas of Oregon are conservative, unfortunately the equity fugitives from Kallyforniya have kalifornikated the western portion of Oregon. From Grants Pass in the southern end through Eugene which is more liberal than some parts of coastal Kallyforniya if that is possible, through Portland and its environs, Oregon has been changed from the state it used to be. Well, Kallyforniya has changed from the state it used to be also.
While most people do not realize it, there are areas of Kallyfornia where conservatism still predominates. Unfortunately, however, the socialist population far outnumbers the conservative value population and that controls how the state is run. Oregon and Washington have the same problem. The eastern halves are conservative but are far outnumbered by the western socialist portions number wise. Too many kalifornikators cashed in their home equity and left kallyforniya for “better” states and immediately set about changing them into ersatz kallyforniyas. At one time Oregonians had bumper stickers that read, “Welcome to Oregon. Now go back home.”
I disagree with every state in this story but one. Look at what actually occurred for this pandemic and pick a good state with that data. The best state for prepping is also the number one state for retirement in 2020, Arkansas. All the states the author “picked” are cold or have radical state governments except Tennessee. Arkansas did not need “Stay at home orders” and instead issued a “Stay away order”! For bugout people this was applied to “commercial rentals” such as hotels. Out of state people with second homes or lots to park their RV on were never hassled nor restricted. All our restaurants have been open with creative take-out solutions. Every business has remained open for the duration of this pandemic except for spas, salons, and tattoo places. Our life in Northwest Arkansas has been 95% normal for the duration. I would also like to congratulate the state government, local government and the population of Arkansas for an intelligent and well managed response to the COVID 19 pandemic.

AVOID GEORGIA Libtards from all over the country moving here. Its so bad I am moving to Wyoming. 11 million people here, but there are six aging nuke plants on the north GA, Tenn, and Carolina boarder…. FUKASHIMA anyone!!!!!!!!
My family has owned land in Eastern Washington since the 1800’s. Having purchased land 50 years ago above a beautiful sparsely populated lake when property prices were reasonable I’m able to enjoy a quiet life as long as I stay home. Due to an influx of 206′ ers who are attempting to escape the pressures of the ‘big city” l avoid going down town at all costs. They forgot to leave their culture on the coast. Our beautiful land is being stained by massive homes ..frequently built for 2 people.. ticky tacky housing developments .. think that song “little houses on the hillside”. Only these babies cost a minimum of 500k.
Which are affordable for people from the coast ..the western side of the state because prices for houses is so high they can sell their house for an enormous amount and pay rediculous amounts of $ to be stuffed next to and in the middle of a hundred look alikes.
Once upon a time we had the slow paced friendly town these people yearned for but their very presence ,their snooty attitude and their entitled behavior has irretrievably destroyed it.
I used to go downtown , take a leisurely stroll ,shop and chat with shop owners that I’ve known for years. Now most of the stores are owned by transplants and I’ve adopted the same go in and get out quick strategy that I apply to a trip to the city..
So moral of story..don’t open Pandoras Box by letting them take over in the first place.
Don’t be seduced by fists full of $ to buy the land your family worked hard to own. Be a part of local government and pass laws governing land use so that it retains the beauty we all love.
Just saying.
Enjoy it while it lasts! Here on the east coast, they’d tax you out by increasing real estate taxes every year to the point where you can no longer afford to live there. If that doesn’t work there’s eminent domain and they’ll take it by force for the better good. After all they need more room for socialist public housing and government office buildings
I have a 1 acre lot located about 6 to 7 miles west of Pagosa Springs, CO. just about 1 mile south of US 160. It is mostly level, with a gentle slope to the south. My health has prevented me from enjoying it like I had originally planned. It is surrounded by Indian lands and National forest. I might let it go for the right price. They aren’t making any more land.
A thumbs down…the truth hurts don’t it?
You can buy guns and ammo.
You can buy land.
You can buy supplies.
You can even run and hide.
But…
You’ll never run far enough or fast enough to ever escape yourself.
Throw your hatreds down.
You may not live any longer but but you’ll be a hell of a lot happier while you are alive.
Cowards run and hide in the face of danger.
Heroes stand tall and do whatever they can to help others weaker and less fortunate than they have been.
Covid-19 should be a wake up call to us all.
Hanging on to our humanity as tight as we can is the only hope for us all.
Every day a new virus is discovered in the rapidly melting permafrost.
How far or fast do you think you can run from that?
The ‘game’ you think you can hunt will be hone in weeks. The great depression nearly wiped out the deer populations…why do you think Fish and Game Departments exist.?
Hate is everything we think it is.
Throw it down.

We are all free to chose where we want to reside to enjoy life, feel safe and at home Only a few of us left who have chosen for whatever reason to stay here and stand here where I still hang my hat in an East Coast big blue city. Not a lot of camaraderie on the prepper front in my neck of the woods. No one knows their neighbors. They keep to their own ethnic group. No one cooks, gardens, mends or repairs anything. Everyone eats out. I for one kinda like the idea of having all of you reinforcements somewhere out there out yonder. Makes you feel that all will not be lost if and when push comes to shove.
City Chick: “Makes you feel that all will not be lost if and when push comes to shove.”
I hope ur not feelin lost because if and when is no longer if and the win of it is already gone. Most prepers I’ve seen are motivated by a vision of a unknowable future and sudden, cataclismic event where as I find the concept of a slow but sure and relatively predictible decline into the abyss infinately more horrific. I the simple truth is, no matter how well prepared an earth shattering event is most likely, and in my opinion preferably, to kill you rather short and sweet. Our disrespect for our environment alone is just now seriously coming home to roost. What I see coming is comin slow and sure. If this pandimic isn’t proof enough for you I don’t know what it will take.
“Have fun while you can, fate is an awful thing.” Youngbloods lp Elephant Mountan circa 1967 or 8…to long ago and far away to be sure about anything back then. That’s when we first started warning y’all about what was comin but all you wanted to do back them was laugh and point your finders at the dirty hippies. Gettin the last laugh would be a lot sweeter for me now if only I could find anything funny about it…at all.
Nope I hope you aren’t feeling lost cause where ever you are is where your likely to find yourself now…if you’re not happy there it’s goin to be damn harder to find from here on out.
Catman, Appreciate the insight and kind words. I know for sure God has a plan for me and I take comfort in that. In my life, He has done more than I could ever imagined let alone ask for. I pray for our country and this President. There must be a reason why I find myself still here. There must be a reason why he is where he is too! Same for all of you. You will know my house with the flag flying high in
the mist of what is now just about a 3rd world country.
City Chick:
I can’t speak to your God, or anyone else’s for that matter. From what I can see, I’ve never heard of one that wasn’t man made out of mostly the figment of some long dead guys imagination. I guess I do know what was motivating his imagination though. The same thing motivating our president, since you brought it up…an insatiable and uncontrolable lust for unchecked power for the control of everything they can get their greedy hands on. The brilliance of it is they do it in the name of a superior being, in the interest of all humanity with the promise of eternal happiness but only after you are dead…of course.
We vote…or not, and get the government we deserve.
I believe in nature.
She makes no promises. None that she won’t keep anyway. She doesn’t favor one over another or demand more. To the contrary, she demands only…balance. Insists on it in fact, in the most predictable ways. She can’t be bested, defeated or…denied.
Christians believe their God has left them but will return one day to save us all from ourselves…our consequences. My God never left but she’s just about run out of patience waiting for us to realise there ARE consequences to our thoughtless selfishness and the time has come that we are going to feel her wrath. Nothing will protect anyone, rich or poor, black or white, humble or proud.
If we have learned NOTHING ELSE in the last 3¾ years it should be the incredibly high price we all pay when we trade our humanity and compassion for anyone or anything but our own short term selfish needs.
Maybe I’m wrong, I have been before…once, I think? LOL
But sumpin tells me that nobody’s God is going to have much mercy for a people that sees thousands of starving, scared for their lives, women and children walk thousands of miles in the hopes of ANY small measure of empathy only to find the only thing waiting for them are family separation, prison camp tents and people who are willing to look the other way and pretent that all the suffering is not happening at all as long as it’s not happening to them.
They say ignorance is bliss. I say selective ignorance is anything but.
Wave that flag girl…wave it high and wide.
We’re all confused, what’s to lose?
You can call this all the…United States Blues.
Just remember darlin,
Have fun while you can…
Jesus is not returning just to save His people. He is returning to judge the earth. Everyone who has rejected the truth will be held accountable. I think if you understood the true gospel, not what has been preached for the last 50 yrs or so, you may even believe. Take a look at FAI studios and Dr Michael Heiser. If you seek for God you will find Him. Praying for you on your journey.
Your God sounds like an interesting fellow, if not a little…judgemental.
My God has never left us. Been right here all along just a watchin us disrespect each other and all the other animals we were given to shepard over right down to the very earth we all walk on.
We have squandered all of her precious gifts and she’s just about had enough of ALL of it.
She’s coming for us all now and she’s mad as hornets with a broken nest. No one will be safe. Not the rich or the poor, ignorant or stupid alike.
We are going to pay for our atrosities down to the very last soul among us. I’m sorry to say that, despite all the warnings from the very smartest people who tried to worn us, it’s just a little to late to do a damn thing about it.
Maybe, when your God gets around to comin back, he’ll have lots of mercy for us because mine will…not.
If you can’t find the answers to all your question in nature then, either there is no answer at all or you don’t really have a problem. So quit your whining and get back to work.
there allready was an article on this called the beste places to be in shtf or something like that.

lots of good ideas in the comment section. Here’s my take as a long time realtor, and a devoted prepper. Community will be important, even when you find your cabin in the woods, so, find a small town, grow your own food(use passive solar if you can build it), collect water, or drill if you have to, keep your food preps up, your guns close by, but remember that day to day life can be good no matter where you go. The key is to avoid big cities, where there are too many dependent, broke people jammed into apartments. When the TSHTF, and it will, these people will become hungry and desperate, so base your land search on the following: rural areas, near national forests, reasonable climates and growing seasons. Buy the latest copy of Strategic relocation, 4th edition.
Have fun while you can…fate is a horrible thing no matter who you are.
In a world where, ultimately, none of us gets out alive then how we choose to live is much more important than how much living we get to do.
In the end if we ever to be judged, what we did to improve the lives of others will carry far more weight than anything we ever do for ourselves.
At the end of the day, it dosen’t matter how dirty your hands get during your day…as long as it’ll all wash off.
I used to ask…what if. A tough question when you consider all the options you have to sort through to find any kind of a workable solution by which to make a decision.
Now I only ask…what are.
What are the consequinces if I’m wrong?
Winning is easy. You get what you want despite the consequinces. As long as they are successful, few people worry about the consequinces of winning as made so obvious by the blind support for our current leaders are STILL receiving.
A guy with a job isn’t going to care how much his job has cost everyone else as long as HIS belly is full.
The hard one to deal with is being wrong and the consequinces that come with that.
I see many people still refuse to wear a mask, for example, with no consideration at all to being wrong about NOT wearing them. If you are correct and wearing a mask does NOTHING then what have you lost in wearing one? A small amount discomfort or some other personal opinion motivated by some political point of veiw.
But, if you are WRONG abouut that the LOTS OF PEOPLE DIE NEEDLESSLY!
Trump refuses to wear a mask because for his entire life he’s never care one little bit about anything else but himself and not AT ALL how many people get hurt as long as he get his way.
The way I see it, if you still want to follow his advise after it has become so clear just EXACTLY who he is then you embrace that line of thinking as much as he does.
You don’t want to wear a mask and you are telling the whole of humanity that all you care about is YOURSELF and care even less how many of them suffer as long as you get your way.
Many of those kind of people are readers here are just like that. Im sorry to say that because of that greedy way of life you lead they will never find any peace or a safe place to go.
The key to Alex166 statement is community.
To have or be a sustainabe member in one you HAVE to care for others.
It’s as simple as that.
You have to CARE.
You tell me where is the CARE in what we have seen happening in America in the last 4 years.
The errosion of our civility has finally gotten to the point where it’s actually had an impact on our actual HUMANITY.
What kind of people applaudes tearing children away from their mothers only to then put them in separated pridon camps when their only crime is in being scared, starving, needing help and being foolish enough to turn to US for help?
We have, as a nation turned our backs on everything that has set us apart from all the other inhumane govermnents that have come before us.
The price we have to pay for doing that, in my opinion, can never get to high.
The shit IS going to hit the fan and soon so hard that we will all have to pay dearly.
A price each and every one of us deserves.
Catman, If you wear a N95 mask fitted correctly when you can not social distance, remember to wash your hands regularly with soap and water, and make good decisions as you go about your day, you are protected. That’s called taking responsibility for yourself. It doesn’t really matter what anyone else does! They are accepting personal responsibility for their own person and for their own decisions. It’s through personal responsibility and consequences that people learn the best lessons and I’m all for education, not control!
Sorry city chick but I could not disagree more with the part of your statement in which you state that the personal choices other people make can’t, won’t or dosen’t have a direct impact on my personal safety or the safety of the rest of society as a whole.
I do agree that taking PERSONAL resposibility to protect ones self is essential to personal health, that goes without saying. An individual SHOULD do all they can to protect themselves.
BUT…the M95 mask does very little and isn’t in itself designed to protect the person wearing it. That misconception was all part of what I think will ultimately become known as ‘the grand deception’.
Just hitting the news tonight are the recording of Trump admitting to knowing of the dangers of this virus yet he intentionally miss led the American people to the dangers. An action that has led to the totally unnecessary loss of tens of thousands of American lives.
His refusal to order mask be worn by mandate nation wide was at the very heart of that deceit.
MASKS PROTECT FROM SOCIAL SPREADING OF THE DESEASE AND IT IS ONLY EFFECTIVE IF EVERYfuckingBODY WEARS THEM.
The mask I wear is not to protect ME.
It is to protect YOU from ME.
When we respirate we expell a fine mist that PERMIATES the air space we are SHARING WITH OTHERS. By wearing a mask you keep those molecules of vapor contained to within our own resperatory systems.
We can’t make OURSELVES sick.
We either are sick, or not.
IF WE ARE SICK for the first 4 or 5 days we can be spreading it around without knowing it because it is Asymptomatic. Ok, big word but it means YOUR ARE SICK AND SPERDING IT AROUND because you do NOT KNOW YOU ARE SICK YET… you have no SYMPTOMS YET!
To this day CC you cling to this Trumpian Right wing BULLSHIT about all of this as if that virus gives even a cold fart what you believe or not.
If I wear a mask and it turns out that I was WRONG about wearing it then I’m out a few bucks and the minor inconvenience of COMPLIANCE.
A COMPLIANCE which at the VERY LEAST shows that I care enough about my fellow man to go through that inconvenience for them with pride.
I YOU on the other hand are WRONG about NOT wearing a mask it is true, you will have spared yourself a minor inconvenience but it will be at the expience of a countless number of needlessly lost lives of your fellow citizens who might otherwise have lived rich full lives.
Not wearing a mask is a giant fuck you to the rest of humanity by telling them all that you don’t care if they live or die just like any other true Trumpian would.
The worst part to buying his lies are that you are helping spread them around helping him kill even more people.
I’m all for you feeling all rightous and powerful I just don’t care much for what it costs all the rest of us.
I can think of no greater act of selfishness.
