You know, it's funny but that's exactly what these anti-Trump guys remind me of, and I'm quite open about the fact that I'm anti-Trump myself.
I know I've probably said this before but when I was a teenager, we lived next door to some evangelical Christians who stockpiled shit for y2k. About a week after nothing happened, they were throwing out huge boxes full of stuff they could never go through in their lifetime simply because they didn't have any living space in their home! At least they were mostly stockpiling things they could use though, not hormones and gaudy baseball bats.
I have been fortunate to talk at length a few times with somebody who survived the Serbo-Corat civil war, his family foresaw shit going nasty so stocked up as best they can and road out the early bloodbath hyper local shit, but in the end he was caught as was his father and where rounded up and where about to be killed until they started asking the captives about there job's, he and his father where machinists so where pulled to one side and the rest of the group got murdered, the one's that survived where the useful one's, Machinists, Mechanics, Chemists, Doctors, anyone with a practical worthwhile skill was put to work, got given just enough water mixed with piss and all the beatings they wanted.
A lot of preppers, and just in general people should think about what they are able to do - I'm a businessman and I am very comfortable making deals an such but I also have practical useful tangible skill's skill's, I'm a qualified Gamekeeper, I can weald, use a lathe, milling machine (
just a lathe stood on it's end really), can fix a car, and knapp stone tools (
although if that's considered useful something is seriously fucked up) and a whole bunch of other shit asside.
In short I'm useful I have skill's I can trade for survival, a lot of people don't have that, people like Phil have no "worth" to there drain on the community.
In extreme times, it's not what you have it's what you know that get's you through.
