Cards Against Humanity, the “party game for horrible people”, has released a “Donald Trump Bug Out Bag“, which it claims will “help you survive the collapse of civilization after Donald Trump is elected President of the United States”. The bag takes its apocalypse survival seriously including a black duffle bag, water purification tablets, a gas mask, a compass, “a hand-crank radio to scan the airwaves for other survivors” and an application to become a resident of Mexico. The bags retailed for US$25, but they have already sold out. Says the website: “When Donald Trump is elected President, you will perish in the wasteland. Sorry.”
It isn’t the first group to joke about leaving the US if Donald Trump is elected; many celebrities have already threatened to move to Canada, and Trump has responded by saying if they left he would have done “a great service to our country”. US News website Politifact says moving to Canada isn’t all that simple, and people can expect to wait years for the immigration department to approve their move — and they have to have a good reason to leave.
