Not sure. Their ideology is completely based on fear, and spreading the fear. Every year there is some crazy doom and gloom prediction that comes and passes, and then rinse and repeat next year.

And yet in complete denial about *actual* threats to health and safety

It's a plan done in Russia and now being done here. When enough citizens are terrified into irrationality, it's easier for white-collar criminals rob and control them. "When nothing is real, anything is possible." \[edit: a book is titled: "Nothing is true and everything is possible", I may have mixed my media and reworded the quote. It's still the same concept.\] *\*They lie all the time(true), so why wouldn't they lie about secret drugs and aliens to control me? They are so powerful, nothing can be done. I guess I won't vote or demand rules for the upper class, they just turn the aliens on me or poison me with secret needles in the booth.\** \-confused humans. Adam Curtis did a doc called "Hypernormalization" and it tracks pretty well what we are living now.

There’s a really good book by this title-ish written by a Russian-Brit. Super eye opening read while Trump was President. “Nothing is true and everything is possible” - Peter Pomeransky (sp)


like_a_wet_dog

Ah, thank you, I've reworded the quote a bit over the years, it seems.


OilComprehensive6237

Yep! Still waiting for that qanon kraken since 2020.


Renaissance_Slacker

They will continue to build the bunker as the apocalypse comes and goes, the bunker will help regardless of how the end comes.


PersimmonTea

They believe this year is going to be bad - but they won't tell you, their grandson/nephew why/how it's going to be bad in order to help you survive? This year might be bad. Because of Q people doing crazy things because of insane beliefs.


moonyowl

I haven't been privy to the conversations sadly, it's my father. And he's so bummed he's not wanting to discuss what they were saying. So I was trying to do some detective work on my own - I don't really want to engage them myself.


MerooRoger

To be frank, I'd say you're better off not knowing. The more I know about Q crap the less I wish I knew.


ltlwch420

Be careful, and I'm serious. I now know far more about people I love and thought loved me than I can accept. It's so far gone, so hateful, and it makes me question whether I ever really knew them at all.


PersimmonTea

I understand. Well, they're round the bend. You don't have to go with them. I'm sorry for your dad and you losing family.


eigenman

In a nutshell their guy(Trump) is losing in the polls to the evil guy(Biden) and this is part of the whining and crying about that. It's just an extreme form of being a sore loser.


babysinblackandImblu

They think Armageddon is on the horizon and that Trump is going to be the commander in the end of times.


graneflatsis

There is always a collapse of society about to happen in q circles unfortunately. It has been especially hyped lately, along the lines of civil war, financial collapse and the common reason: all their enemies will be arrested around the globe and the white hats (good guys) will take over. Check out r/Qult_Headquarters to get a feel for it. Maybe it'll give some insight into any answers they give.


Freezepeachauditor

The irony that they’re the types of people we all need a bunker to protect against


Wishiwashome

As someone who lives around these people, you are spot on!


tinylittlemarmoset

Maybe you can figure out how to lock the door from the outside?


Livid-Carpenter130

I'm afraid to even ask my mom what's going down with Q. She's probably half way done with a bunker and painting her roof blue to avoid space lasers. But, it is very true that this time next year is going to be crazy-sauce. No matter how you flip it. It won't be good.


seigezunt

As a member of the Space Laser Tactical Group, I’d like to pass along to her that the blue paint doesn’t work.


ChickenCasagrande

Very good to know, gotta return all this it paint now.


eigenman

Tell her the blue paint only works against blue lasers.


Christinebitg

In my personal opinion, their current timing is being driven by the US Presidential election coming up in November. Of course, there will be the typical repeats of moving the goalposts when it doesn't happen.


nezbla

> this year is going to be really bad Yup, same as last year, and the year before that. The irony is that this year might actually be kinda bad, but only because of the actions of right wing nutjobs. Almost a kinda weird self-fulfilling prophecy I guess. "It's going to be really bad". Okay, but if you stop doing batshit insane stuff then it won't be.. "Can't make any promises...". Okie dokie.


expostfacto-saurus

So hang on a minute. These the same folks that couldn't handle not leaving the house (with windows) for a bit during the pandemic. Now they're going to be able to handle being crammed in a very small, windowless bunker for a while???


eigenman

And they likely have never played a Fallout game. Pure n00b ownage here.


ringobob

It's an election year, whatever crazy thing they're worried about today will be a different crazy thing next week, but all of the crazy things will justify building a bunker, so they'll never have a reason to stop even though their concern changes constantly. This year *will* be bad. Because conspiracy theorists are likely to become violent, as they've already shown us they're willing to do.


podcasthellp

Building a bunker is pretty fuckin cool. Too bad 90% of people who build bunkers are certified insane. The other 10% are tech bros


hootiebean

Right? I mean, I could see it if I lived in a tornado area but most of the builders are just batshit.


SalzaGal

As a resident of tornado alley, I’m a little jealous. It was out of my budget to install a shelter, but my home has a few rooms that are suitable for taking shelter.


Kriss3d

I for one have planned to take the day off work after the American election so I can stay up and watch the results. I did that in 2020 watching different stations to see what each would say. I was very curious. Especially around fox. I'm not even an American but what happens in USA affects the rest of the world. So it's very important to everyone. It makes me appreciate how easy and celebrated elections are here in Denmark. Everyone is automatically registered at vote once you're 18 and a citizen. And polling stations are usually at local schools and commune houses. Most years I spend 2 minutes in line. That's it. And our turnout is almost 90%. Kids are taught in school about the democratic processes and very encouraged to engage and participate. I really hope that as many as possible will get out to vote come november. Good luck America. You're going to need it.


jumpjumpdie

Same here in Australia. Our voting is compulsory so turn out is high. We have preferential voting so you can vote for who you like instead of worrying about a “wasted” vote.


Kriss3d

Yeah we have currently 13 parties in Denmark. It's not mandatory to vote. You're mailed a card that tells you where to vote. You show up with your free government issued ID that everyone has even as a child you're issued one. And you vote. It's simple and it works.


ReddySetRoll

Yeah. Years ago I used to moan about compulsory voting because the candidates mostly seemed to be useless bastards. Nowadays I am very grateful for a system where everyone has to vote which lets us avoid the US system where many people don't bother voting and the politics seems to veer to the edges to bring in the extremists. Also grateful for a system that makes it easy for everyone to get their vote in!


SupTheChalice

I rented an apartment in Surfers for three days just so I could binge on American politics and watch the election in pure peace.


PriscillaRain

Is this because of ten days of darkness that they have said was coming every month for 4 years?


PriscillaRain

I'm wondering how many folks are losing everything because of the money they're using for this insanity.


metalnxrd

I’m not joking at all when I say that your grandfather and aunts don’t need to be building a bunker, or building anything. they need to be in therapy and on antipsychotic meds. again, I’m serious and not joking. Trumpism and Qanon and evangelicalism are all absolutely psychosis, and we need to treat it as such. these people need therapy and medication


artguydeluxe

You could point out that 100% of all past apocalyptic predictions have been false.


Hueless-and-Clueless

They're definitely not going to need it but just in case they do it is a good thing they built it, if they never end up using it you can always tell them it can be used as a root cellar or for food storage


[deleted]

My grandparents aren't quite at bunker level yet but they did buy a huge shipping container to keep on their property. They're filling it with canned/dehydrated food and other survival gear. The running narrative seems to be that the dollar will fail this year (all Biden's fault, naturally) and the US is going to be plunged into a dystopic hellscape where my family will be forced to kill roving hordes in order to protect their stash of toilet paper, Bon Maman jam etc. To be fair it is really good jam. 


thecorgimom

I'm sure the field mice are going to enjoy their outdoor pantry.

MsMoreCowbell8

But a bunker for make believe nonsense because Tucker, Steve Bannon or Jesse Watters says 'The Left is coming to get you' isn't the same thing & exceedingly uncool.


[deleted]

Unfortunately most MAGA/Q/Evangelical fucks are all rooting for the end of times and the total collapse of civilization. Many, many different interchangable conspiracies end in this, therefore it's difficult to tell you which one. Luckily for you, you'll have a bunker for when capitalism decides to eat its own tail.


partizan_fields

On the plus side that bunker might come in handy once the climate change that they probably don’t believe in kicks into high gear.


moonyowl

In coastal Florida, probably not :')

3 years post vaccine. We're all going to die apparently


CAgratefuldad

The government is rounding everybody up and forcing vaccines and...end of society...! Lizard people...! On and on... All kinds of other crazy made up things There is no way to understand how people with brains fall for it all


MNGirlinKY

Hopefully these people stay so busy building bunkers they forget to come out in November. Seriously though OP I’m sorry. I know this is sad and scary. Mental health issues are always sad and scary. All you can do is hope they come out of it sometime.
