There has been no direct correlation. Indirectly? Yes.

We’re right on the edge of impermissible political discussion for ETS. I would prefer to not have to lock the thread.

This is why I have not addressed Hikermor's question. If he likes, we can discuss it in private.

I agree with Chaosmagnet that this can easily swerve into political territory, with a resulting train wreck. But the very initiation of this thread, inquiring about special survival considerations in an election year, gets proceedings rolling in that direction

There is nothing particularly special about an election year.

So far, we have not seen it in our lifetime. Knock on wood. As we have seen in history, people get ugly when they do not like the results of an election.

But that’s post-election, not election year. This thread might become relevant circa late October 2020. First we need to get through the Atlantic hurricane season which will be on us in a few months. Take those hurricane supplies and morph them into whatever you think you might need post-election. Me? I’m an optimist...

Yeah, but post election it will still be EQ season. Hurricane season will be over for those near the Atlantic so they have supplies that can be repurposed. There’s no off-season for SOCAL EQ’s.

i Dare say we have all seen pictures of the recent EQ destruction in Puerto Rico. Compared to that, preparing for very hypothetical civil unrest is fairly trivial.
