Being a prepper doesn't require any specific political alignment, just the strongly held belief in an impending, civilizational catastrophe and the requisite preparation for it. The type of preparation is influenced by one's politicial compass, such as buying heirloom seeds and land for your polycule commune, or buying ammo and night-vision gear for your tacticool, boobytrapped redoubt, but all are rooted in the same fundamental belief: that multiple levels of government can/will fail in one's lifetime. Not mere service interruption, but permanent, catastrophic failure that kills government dead, with no replacement.
