I just don't know what it is going to take for people to wake up and realize how late it is.  Donald Trump got shot and that shook people up for a few days, but that didn't last for long.  Then there was a soft coup in the Democratic Party, and that got people fired up for a little bit, but that quickly faded.  Of course there is a small minority that is awake and that understands that we are living in truly historic times, but the vast majority of the population appears to be clueless.  The following are 5 reasons why you should be prepping like crazy right now…

#1 As I have been warning for a long time, the results of the election in November will unleash a flood of negative emotion.  Whichever side loses is going to have a massive temper tantrum, and there is a very high risk that we could see widespread violence.  In fact, one recent survey actually discovered that 41 percent of Americans believe that it is likely that there will be a "civil war" within the next five years…

The possibility that America could face another civil war soon is not too far-fetched for a lot of voters.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 41% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United States is likely to experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, including 16% who consider such a scenario Very Likely. Forty-nine percent (49%) don't think another civil war is likely in the next five years, including 20% who say it's Not At All Likely. Another 10% are not sure.

#2 Armed conflicts are raging all over the globe.  The war in Ukraine continues to intensify, China has been threatening Taiwan, and the war in the Middle East could potentially escalate to an apocalyptic level by the end of this calendar year.  Meanwhile, riots, revolutions and civil unrest are erupting everywhere you look.  For example, it appears that Venezuela is right on the verge of erupting in flames…

Venezuela has been engulfed by violent riots as opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia announced he has proof he won Sunday's disputed election hours after President Nicolas Maduro claimed he'd secured a third term in power.

Thousands of enraged protesters flooded the streets of the capital and several other cities, chanting 'Freedom, freedom!' and 'This government is going to fall!' as they set fire to tyres and rubbish and organised barricades to block police vehicles.
