For the past few years, many have looked at 2020 as the pinnacle point in the near future. Why? I suspect it’s not due to it being a leap year.
Back in November of 2016 many on both sides of the political aisle looked at 2020 as a significant year. If Donald J. Trump turned out to horrible for the country we only needed to wait four years to vote him out. It’s obvious that for most of us who value the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the foundational values which this country was founded believe things have gone much better than expected. No – Trump is not a savior nor would anyone argue he is a good example of morality. The outcome of his first three years speaks for themselves.
For many preparedness-minded folks who were so focused and prepared with an unrelenting fervor due to the certainty that Killary would be victorious – the outcome of the election allowed a giant sigh of relief. I’ve been highly critical of those who allowed this breather to extend beyond 2017.
We approach 2020 and this country is relishing in low unemployment, growing wages, record-breaking markets, and what appears to be a growing sense of unity and patriotism within its populace. Depending on your source of news it can appear things just can’t get any better. Having this perspective would be a terrible mistake. While being positive and hopeful is admirable – being prudent and realistic pays dividends.
I remember reading the adage above in my teenage years and it stuck. While the focus of this narrative thus far encompasses politics and the intense disarray in this country, there are many more reasons to prepare than the threat of civil war.
Talking to others who are immensely concerned with the direction this country is heading has all of them focussed on November of 2020. While only a few have suggested that they expect some sense of unrest immediately following the election(regardless of the outcome) – all believe that civil unrest and regional domestic conflict is just a matter of time.
November of 2020. A Liberal Democrat Socialist wins. The country will head down one possible path.
November of 2020: Donald J. Trump wins. The country will head down another possible path.
Regardless of the outcome, the events to follow are as uncertain as who will win in 2024(if there’s an election).
Prepare. Be deliberate.
