(The Economic Collapse Blog)—I really wish that everyone would just calm down. Emotions always run high immediately after an election, but what we are witnessing this time around is truly frightening. We live at a time when people feel free to express their deepest, darkest emotions on social media, and right now “freak out video” after “freak out video” is going viral.
A lot of people out there literally feel like the world is ending just because Donald Trump won the election. My hope is that this temper tantrum will start to subside in the days ahead, but I am not sure that it will.
According to a YouGov/Economist survey that was unveiled on Friday, 47 percent of those that voted for Kamala Harris believe that Trump will not be a legitimate president…
Nearly half of all Kamala Harris supporters do not believe that President-elect Donald Trump legitimately won the election.
A YouGov/Economist survey released Friday found that 47 percent of Harris supporters do not accept that Trump is the legitimate president.
The pollsters report, “75% of registered voters — including 53% of Harris voters and 97% of Trump voters — say they accept that Trump is the legitimate president.”
That is chilling.
How is someone supposed to run the country if there are tens of millions of people that do not consider your presidency to be legitimate?
This is going to be a major problem.
Another survey has found that 54 percent of Harris voters would like to move out of the country, but only 10 percent “definitely” or “probably” will…
Of Harris voters, 5% say they will definitely relocate and 5% say they probably will. Another 44% would like to move but probably (27%) or definitely (17%) won’t. Of those who would like to move but are unlikely to, personal finances, family, and community ties are what will keep them in place.
Of those pondering or planning a move, 90% are considering moving to another country and 80% to another state. The top countries respondents are considering moving to are Canada (41%), the United Kingdom (19%), and Mexico (16%). Top states respondents are considering moving to are California (14%), New York (8%), and Colorado (8%).
Even if just 10 percent of Harris voters end up moving out of the United States, that would still be an absolutely enormous exodus.
According to that same survey, abortion is the number one issue that is motivating people to consider relocating…
The top issues driving respondents’ reasons for wanting to relocate include concerns over a potential federal ban on abortion (61%), increased racial inequality (55%), and the possibility that progressive rights may be overturned (54%).
Additionally, respondents are worried about a reduction in healthcare access (54%) and increased social inequality (53%). A lack of gun regulation (50%), environmental deregulation (43%), and the weakening of public education (44%) are also major concerns.
Did these people that are so concerned about abortion not see the election results?
As I shared with my core supporters on Friday, this election was actually a gigantic victory for those that are pro-abortion…
Abortion was on the ballot in 10 states. In 8 of those states, a majority of voters backed the pro-abortion position, in 1 state (South Dakota) a majority of voters rejected the pro-abortion position, and in 1 state (Nebraska) it is still too close to call.
In the red states of Missouri, Montana, Arizona and Nevada, voters overwhelmingly established a “right” to abortion.
Of course this just continues a nationwide trend that we have seen since Roe v. Wade was overturned. When abortion is on the ballot, pro-life forces have lost almost every single time.
Of course most liberals aren’t focused on those results. Instead, they are just freaking out because Trump is headed back to the White House.
Over the past several days, lots of videos of women cutting off their hair because Kamala Harris lost have started to appear on TikTok…
There are several other videos floating across social media — namely, TikTok — featuring liberal women mourning Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss by shaving their heads in defiance.
In another video, a woman sits while another starts chopping off her hair. According to the caption throughout the video, the woman believes shaving one’s head is the only thing “we have left to control ourselves.”
“We will continue to fight and stand with every woman and minority,” the screen reads. It remains unclear how lopping off locks of hair helps the women and minorities the group claims to care about.
I don’t understand this. How is cutting off your hair going to solve anything?
Others have been expressing their defiance by fantasizing about death and violence. For example, a physician’s assistant in Philadelphia is hoping that the daughter of every woman that voted for Trump “has an ectopic pregnancy”…
A physician’s assistant in obstetrics and gynecology has been terminated from a Philadelphia hospital after expressing a desire for deadly retribution against the daughters and grandchildren of voters who supported Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Nicole M. Hart issued a post on social media stating, “To every woman that voted for Trump, I hope your daughter has an ectopic pregnancy,” referring to a rare medical condition in which a fertilized egg grows on the exterior of a woman’s uterus.
The condition can cause both the mother and child to die. Ectopic pregnancies are not considered viable pregnancies. Jefferson Health Hospital in Philadelphia confirmed Friday that Hart has been terminated from her position.
Even more alarming is the fact that so many women have been searching the Internet for a poison called Aqua Tofana…
Internet searches for Aqua Tofana—a potent poison created in Sicily around 1630 by a woman named Giulia Tofana, or Tofania, and historically used by women to free themselves from relationships by killing men—spiked shortly after the election results.
On social media, some lunatics have been suggesting that Aqua Tofana should be used on those that supported Trump…
This new movement is called MATGA – make aqua tofana great again, it’s teaching women how to POIS☠️N Trump supporters with plants and flowers!
I have never seen so much anger in the aftermath of an election.
At first major leftist organizations were in shock, but now they are starting to organize protests…
Democrats have activated their network of social justice warriors for the second time in days following a Trump victory early Wednseday morning. The latest mobilization effort of far-left activists by mysterious and dark money-funded nonprofit groups is occurring on the streets of New York City on Saturday afternoon.
X user Open Source Intel uploaded footage of what appears to be thousands of anti-Trump protesters in Midtown Manhattan.
“Thousands march in Midtown Manhattan as New York City law enforcement monitors. Protesters rally against fascism, deportation, anti-trans hate, and systemic oppression, expressing concerns over Donald Trump’s election as the 47th President,” the X user said, adding, “Chants of “Racist, sexist, anti-gay” and signs highlight their solidarity for marginalized communities.”
As I warned the other day, this is just the beginning.
We are entering an extremely chaotic period in our history, and politically-motivated rage is going to fuel much of that chaos.
Sadly, hatred and bitterness are about to eat us alive, and the divisions that have been tearing this country apart are about to get a whole lot deeper.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
