A good chunk of Trumpers think Biden has all their home addresses and plans to hunt them all down and disappear them. And that's after the Biden voting neighbors attack them, try steal their food and burn them out of the house.

They are laying in everything they can think of to survive mass hysteria and disorder. Costco in same places is having trouble keeping the shelves. Those MRE and "Years supply" places are running out of stock. Guns and ammo are flying off the shelves. And have you see the prices on campers of all sorts?

Marketing anything as tactical is a very smart move. Get the money while it's hot.
