Kimme;
Here is the deal, yes Libs will suffer more than Conservatives when this whole thing goes south. The thing you don’t seem to get is that don’t count on the Government taking care of them so if the Government fails it will not hurt us as much. Second much of the conservative base is rural while most of the lib base is urban. Urban areas are very fragil things, they are artifical constructs. Not to call you a rat but do you know what happens when scientist put to many rats in a cage and then cut back on the food and water? Not pretty! That is what is going to happen under Old Big Ear’s administration.
I’ve got land, most people who are conservatives do we can plant gardens (in my case lets call them fields) and do all sorts of things to help cut costs and get by. We also tend to have savings built up so that we can survive hard times better than you can.
Several years ago right around Thanksgiving a massive ice storm swept through South Dakota it dropped over 3/4 of an inch of ice on us. It completely knocked out power for over a week in most of the towns and close to a month out in the country side. You know what we were just fine, out of roughly 700,000 people we had a handful of elderly deaths mostly do to heart attacks (old men who tried to dig themselves out). We carried on and laughed about the inconvinience(sp?). The point of this is that we easliy dealt with a massive infrastructure failure in winter time by ourselves the question is would you be able to?
I think it is safe to say that yes both Republicans and Democrats would be effected by a massive economic collapse but were we would find it a hardship you libs would find it life altering.
