REMINDER: in a crisis, all the tales of neighbors turning on each other, violence and chaos, cats and dogs living together... are fairy tales. They are the specter the state raises to justify violence on the citizenry to maintain control. In reality, people automatically pitch in and help their neighbors during a crisis.
People get maximally creative in a crisis. We find a way to survive, it's what we do best.
Red states have no conceptual model for this. They're brain rotted on rugged individualism: it's soup kitchen at the church or zip.
Meanwhile,blue state folks are like "let's set up mutual aid at the coffee shop for SNAP folks"
Blue states already mobilizing resources.
Red states gonna starve.

Every year at the fall fest, hubby brings quarters to get duck food to feed the ducks. Most people don't carry quarters anymore, so we bring extras and leave them on top of the food dispenser so the next kids that come by can get some.
This year...
