[raven]

i doubt I will be surprised at the vote tally

 

[Lurker]

We live in 'the bunker' so we're glued to the screen, KNOWING the worst is about to come and are prepared to lock the gate, put one in the chamber and see what rolls down the gravel road.

 

[abby normal]

I voted glued. Already at our BOL. Too poor to add any preps but ironically it's one less thing to obsess about.

Now is time to reinforce the spiritual preps. They are free and you can never have too much.

 

[Lurker]

Can I make a suggestion for the poll?

I see the scores behind each poll, i.e. 2.18. Can those be explained in the poll, so if we see a score of, say, 3 we know everyone is freaked out or whatever it means? Some sort of scale? Thanks.

 

[SouthernBreeze]

We live in 'the bunker' so we're glued to the screen, KNOWING the worst is about to come and are prepared to lock the gate, put one in the chamber and see what rolls down the gravel road.

Same here, Lurker. I've always voted "watchful", but times have changed. We're planning one more shopping run, tomorrow, and then, we'll see what happens day by day. We're prepared to lock our gate, and wait and watch for the worst.

 

[maric]

I voted glued to the screen. This country as well as the world are in deep chit.

 

[Walrus]

Same response as before: watchful, etc., topping off, checking plans. Same as always, really.....

 

[Lurker]

I voted glued to the screen. This country as well as the world are in deep chit.

I think in 60 days we'll have to dig for a month just to get to deep chit we're going to be so deep in it.

 

[mecoastie]

Glued. Start working from home tomorrow which will be nice. I can work in the early AM and after dark so I will be able to get the hatches battened down during the day.

 

[Blacknarwhal]

Glued. Working from home, pretty much in the bunker, but trying to get along like comparatively normal.

 

[Mprepared]

Glued. The wind is blowing here. Part of the fence blew down. Some people do not have electricity, so if I lose internet lol what a day.

 

[AppleJacks]

previously i;ve been watchful......now i've bumped up...

 

[hiwall]

Obviously people are "glued to the screen" because we can all see it with the numbers on this site. Like Dennis said, we are running double the normal.

 

[ryken]

Glued! Something bad is coming. It's all everyone at work is talking about. We work for the Defense Dept. Hope we don't become a target. Our company is USA and Trump all the way!

 

[ShadowMan]

After the other day's debacle in D.C., I give it a 49/51% chance of something actually happening. Both sides are rattling sabers, talking trash......but.......will they really engage? Like I said, about a 49/51% chance at the moment.

Does Trump have the Kraken? Is the Kraken real? Is there any REAL proof of everything we've been lead to believe? Lots of talk and threats on both sides, lots of chest pounding.......but I don't see anything on the dinner plate......yet and time is running out. I guess we'll see sometime between now and the 20th.

 

[gemini212]

Watchful. We are topping off preps and keeping an eye on things.

 

[Marseydoats]

I said "totally freaked" but I don't actually have a bunker... If I didn't have to go to work, I'd sure as heck be staying at home though.

 

[oleglass]

Voted glued to the screen, being retired, we stay home most of the time.
DW is just really upset about the voter fraud we observed recently,and thinks we are doomed.
Me, just waiting to see what happens. Also think something bad coming, when I don’t know, but think soon!

 

[cupid's romance]

I'm glued to the screen. This is getting ridiculous!

 

[anna43]

I stopped watching any media news the day I cast my vote by mail several weeks prior to election day. I do check regularly here and a few other web sites but do not glue myself to the news. I can't control what's happening or is going to happen so no point in stressing myself out about it. I am VERY VERY concerned, but see no point in making myself crazy trying to figure out what's going to happen next. I've been on this board daily since pre Y2K and I've been prepped since then. Praying for survival of our Constitutional rights everyday.

 

[adgal]

I vacillated between glued and watchful - I went out today, topped off the gas tank, got some cash, did a couple of small errands, (new pull cord for the generator, some rechargeable batteries, some windshield washer fluid, etc...) and then checked TB2K when I got home. But, I'm also still working, still planning on taking DH to Madison for a checkup after his surgery, still looking forward to my seeds arriving... So, I finally chose watchful - but I'm not too far from glued.

 

[jward]

I'm an info addict, so I'm always glued to the screen. As per this situation, :: shrug :: I've done what I've been nudged to do, and am watching and waiting, and on my knees praying- for both those i care about, and the country as a whole, as well as the world at large. I hope someone picks up the baton if we drop it; we had a hell of a good system, in theory, at least.

 

[20Gauge]

Yes, Things are looking a bit froggy, but at this point I still expect we have a bit more time to get ready for what is coming. Do we have 6 months? Not likely, but possible.

A year...... I really doubt it...... time will tell.

 

[Mprepared]

I said "totally freaked" but I don't actually have a bunker... If I didn't have to go to work, I'd sure as heck be staying at home though.

I said glued, but I am leaking towards TOTALLY FREAKED.

 

[Jeff B.]

I can't but think things are going to get nasty. We've started down a path that I don't see leading anywhere but conflict or submission.

Jeff B.

 

[Demodave]

Topped off gas. Not freaked, just pissed off...

 

[Southside]

7 more days to Blue Igloo time.

 

[Mrsmonty]

Watchful and checking preps.
Husband is retired so he is making grocery runs to keep necessities topped off.
Can't stay glued to the screen as i am still working, but checking often for updates.

 

[gonewacky]

Totally freaked and in my bunker because there coming after us...

About 20,000 National Guardsmen could arrive in Washington, officials say, in swelling inauguration security effort

 

[Cohickman]

How about a completely pissed off choice

 

[Walrus]

I imagine if I were where some of you folks are (geographically speaking), I'd be freaking out as well.

But no need to be mentally freaked out if things are happening which you cannot control. (I like that pissed-off choice the bestest)

 

[Granny Franny]

Topping off on preps here, but hoping for the best.

 

[Topusaret]

Can I make a suggestion for the poll?

I see the scores behind each poll, i.e. 2.18. Can those be explained in the poll, so if we see a score of, say, 3 we know everyone is freaked out or whatever it means? Some sort of scale? Thanks.

Each response gets 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 points, from top to bottom. Thus a score of 0.00 would mean that everyone voted "absolutely no worries " and 4.00 would mean that everyone voted "totally freaked and in my bunker". Simple, and you can calculate it yourself as the poll progresses through the two days.

 

[nehimama]

I voted "glued". We're all going to Hell in a handbasket!

 

[Lone_Hawk]

I voted watching. But, if "To the point I don't give a rats ass, bring it." had been an option, I would have selected that. But I understand that for continuity with the past it has to be the same questions.

 

[Starrkopf]

Totally freaked, I've had a bad feeling on and off over the years but nothing like this. I hope it's just me but with everything happening all at once right now, and the way they have gone full bore with the terrorist angle, I'm legit scared, I remember 9/11 and how the government united to do terrible things that still to this day have never been undone and I feel about as safe and comfortable as a middle eastern gas station owner probably would have around 9/11 (which is to say not at all)

 

[Gimpywarrior]

Reading the news, but not concerned. Jesus is still my King

 

[SusieSunshine]

I voted watchful. DH is glued to the screen.
Neither of us can believe this is happening.
I'm trying to stay calm with my trust in the Lord.
Many thanks to Helen for her encouraging words of wisdom.

 

[FMJ]

2.57 currently. 2nd highest prepper anxiety poll after the March 18th, 2020 poll at the beginning of the plandemic. No surprise to anyone.
