Democratic Prepping: Surviving the GOP
America isn’t just bracing for another election—we’re preparing for survival
As the GOP slashes safety net programs, Americans across the country are being forced to “prep” for the fallout—not from war, not from natural disaster, but from Republican cruelty.
📞 Blue Dots in Red states - You are NOT alone.
📞 What are YOU doing to prepare for the fallout of the Republican attack on safety net programs and resources?
📞 The Tesla Boycotts - What say you?
📞 A survivor of sexual assault calls in to warn us: Her abuser now works in the White House.
📞 A veteran from a family that has served since the Civil War—is beside himself at Trump’s attacks on democracy.
This is real. This is happening now.
This week on The Dangerous Ones, we’re exposing what’s at stake and what Americans are doing to prepare. Because the GOP isn’t just waging a political war—they’re waging war on the vulnerable.
🎙️ Listen now. Stay informed. Stay prepared. And for the love of democracy—stay dangerous.
This week, we were flooded with calls from people urging their neighbors to prepare. Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are at extreme risk, and callers shared great tips on getting ready. We're calling for everyone to have a "blue out" bag. But what is it?
A "blue out" bag is like a bug-out bag, but designed for surviving the destruction of vital services like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

What a show! Amazing calls.
I'm one of those vulnerable ones. I lost my ability to see a year and a half ago. I am working hard to get back into the work place but it's taking time to learn what I need to compete in society. It's been hard enough. But I campaigned for Kamala, called, canvassed the neighborhood and put out signs. So when my blood red state declared the Tangerine Tyrant in THREE MINUTES after the polls closed, I cried. He hasn't ever been honest and he's a convicted felon running from his sentencing! So of course he was always going to fit the agencies that showed his crimes for all to see. I have been using the 5 calls app, I call EVERY DAY. I stocked up on my medications as I'm an insulin dependent diabetic. I've joined a group fighting for the rights of the disabled and I won't stop fighting!
