Former GOP Congressman and Qanon Patriot believer built a $10 million mansion/doomsday bunker to survive the next American Civil War and the Obama threat. Mentally unstable person with a gun breaks into his home to get access to the bunker to survive the next American Civil war and the Biden threat. The mansion has guns but no alarm system.

Qanon patriot doesnt buy it. Instead he thinks is a government false flag. It made a lot more sense to him than murdering a family to get to their bunker.

      apparently, the elder daughter was a major piece of shit too. Bevin was so off-the-rails right wing psycho, he actually lost the governor's office to a dem while republicans hung on to essentially every other exec office.

      But even as he built his fortified sanctuary, politics in Kentucky were shifting, becoming more favorable for those with the kind of hard-right convictions that Mr. Morgan held. Jordan, who had become an ambitious and outspoken conservative herself, landed a job out of law school in the new gubernatorial administration of Matt Bevin, the firebrand Republican.

    My brother in Christ, what did you think a bunker was for if not something people would want to murder you for?

      Why let people know that either you know? If your plan for the apocalypse is your mansion bunker, maybe don't let it be publicly known that you've built that?

        These great men of history don't build their own shit, they rarely have ever held a hammer or nail gun or poured concrete. All they know how to do is pay for labourers to work for them, labourers who all now know where the rich guy well stocked bunker is.

        lmao that's the best part

        He listed his house on Zillow — “perfect for grand scale entertaining and family living,” the listing read, with “the highlight of the property” being “a $3 Million, 2,000 sq. ft. Nuclear/Biological/Chemical Fallout Shelter.” He assumed the listing would be seen only by buyers interested in a $6.5 million property. But it went viral.

    The most poetic form of justice for this kind of person would be for them to live in the kind of kill-or-be-killed world they're driving us towards. We can see how well an urban fortress and personal arsenal protected him. Imagine what a horde of cannibalistic communists would do.

    I know every one would get a share.

        the logical next step of American architecture are mansion complexes that can only be traversed inside tiny cars. you could ofc also build an indoor rail system, but that would be communism.

    This guy was a congressman. It's easy and reassuring to tell yourself that the lizards at the top use the reactionary hysteria as a tool without truthfully believing it themselves, but the fact of the matter is that the American political elite have an ideology that's functionally identical to your racist uncle

    Mr. Morgan quickly considered his other guns — another pistol in the drawer, the 12-gauge shotgun in the closet, the AR-15 in the guest bedroom — but saw his cellphone on the nightstand. He grabbed it and called the police.

    My feelings were that we were going to have civil unrest because there was so much going on with Obama,” Mr. Morgan said. He believed that people were going to rise up against the attempts to overhaul health care and restrict guns, and that societal collapse would soon follow. He envisioned “roving bands of gangs” hunting for food and necessities in the aftermath. He bought riot gear, bulletproof vests and a small arsenal of firearms, so that “if you had to engage a band of marauders, you would have a chance to save your family.”

    How many truly demented, delusional RW fear-mongers are out there?

    And is it all being stoked by Fox News?
