Based Underground is now a conservative news aggregator AND curated newsletter.
For the past six months I’ve been writing about the clear uptick in civil war rhetoric within the establishment media in the US, and we all know that the coming presidential election is the reason for it. The bottom line is that no matter who ends up in the White House in 2025 there will be mass violence, but most of this violence will be reserved for the possibility of Donald Trump’s return.
As we have seen in Europe (mainly France), any perceived shift towards conservative influence in government will undoubtedly result in riots from the political left. The media has so infected the minds of progressives that they truly believe conservatives intend to “end democracy” and launch an era of fascism. So, in their view, all violence against conservatives (and even moderates) is justified.
Of course, their aggression and hysteria is only inspiring conservatives to respond with aggression in kind. This is where the potential for civil conflict arises. One side says only they are exalted enough to be allowed to dictate policy and law and that side’s ideology embraces moral relativism, so you can see where this thing is headed. People are eventually going to fight back; they have no choice.
In the meantime, I suspect the rioting and looting America dealt with in 2020 will be a cakewalk in comparison to what we will see going into November 2024 and beyond. Leftists claim they are “protecting democracy” but you will see very quickly that as soon as democracy doesn’t go their way they will abandon it in a heartbeat and try to win using other methods.
This means potential supply chain disruptions in major cities as well as no-go areas in many retail districts. Sure, you might be able to get into a neighborhood to shop, but will you be able to leave? And, will those suppliers even have any goods on hand? Or, will the stores be turned into empty husks?
One rising trend that should have all business owners and preppers on alert is the use of social media apps to coordinate seemingly spontaneous looting events. These events can be organized within hours, encouraging some of the worst people to congregate and strike a business block without ever meeting each other before. What I worry about is that these methods will expand beyond chain stores and local government buildings.
Travel routes will come under threat, freight could be targeted, and we may even see looters and rioters move into residential areas further away from the city center. Supply chain issues will surely arise. At the very least there will be concerns among freight drivers that they are taking a risk carrying truckloads of valuable resources into places where they could be surrounded by an angry mob and hijacked (or worse).
Large scale crime in general is bad for the economy. As we’ve witnessed in cities like Chicago and San Francisco, unchecked crime forces companies to move out of a region and leave those places barren. They call it a “food desert” where tens of thousands of people have no access to groceries or retail goods without traveling much further than usual. Looting and rioting are an accelerated version of this scenario. Once stores are looted or burned, they may never try to rebuild.
Necessities like long-term food storage are an obvious solution. Even those that don’t believe a substantial crisis will happen cannot deny that there have been many incidents in the past few years where people’s resource access was unexpectedly disrupted. If you were living in the wrong place at the wrong time in 2020, you might have had protests and riots in your neighborhood that stopped you from leaving home or that destroyed nearby businesses.
What I am describing, though, is a much larger number of incidents with a longer duration than 2020. I’m talking about prolonged civil unrest and I predict this will become the norm going into next year.

Don’t count on the government to provide sufficient aid. Don’t count on FEMA rations or a national guard response that does anything other than exacerbate the problem. Don’t rely on outside help – You’ll regret it.
Instead, put together a three week, three month, and one year survival plan. Start small and work your way up and make sure you have at least some family or friends onboard. There are different levels of civil unrest. Sometimes it starts as a less malicious redress of grievances, but often it becomes a vehicle for random destruction. The best way to counter indiscriminate violence is with directed and focused self defense, along with the proper supplies to keep you going until things calm down.
Also, don’t think just because you live in the suburbs or a rural town that these threats don’t concern you. In Argentina during their economic collapse in 2001, gangs of looters stalked rural areas with impunity while cities ground to a standstill. In the US we have similar circumstances in which economically and politically motivated bad actors could be inspired to sabotage normal services in the face of limited law enforcement opposition.
Organize accordingly and keep your own supplies ready. There are plenty of people out there that think they are owed something. They think they are owed a political win, or social power, or maybe they just think they’re owed access to other people’s stuff. Right now, the US is a powderkeg waiting to go off and a grotesque sense of entitlement is the fuse.

No, Endorsing Kamala Harris for President Isn’t What Jesus Would Do
by The Federalist
Christians should reject the backward theology of teachers who twist the character of Christ to punish their political enemies. “Never Trump. This time Harris. Always Jesus.” These were the words not of Taylor Swift or Pete Buttigieg but of Ray Ortlund, a card-carrying member of “Big Eva,” in a recent…
