Okay, let’s make it interesting. You have to pick 25 posters to bring into the bunker with you. Who do you pick and why?

Agreed, and likely 99.99% of people that would be included should not be included. It would be a mess as to who gets included and of the ones that would be chosen because the way the world is today, I would prefer to just be done and not live in the aftermath. There would be a power turn in the aftermath, and it wouldn't be good times.

They will be vastly outnumbered. So when they are ripped to pieces by an angry mob, it won’t matter.

No real difference, both are big state, big spending, authoritarian regimes.

We know the real answer, the rich and who the rich need will get in.

Yes unless you are an expert in a necessary field.

Criminals and politicians are eliminated. I’d put an age minimum and maximum. Health checks and such too.

Put in 1million of the smartest Republicans. The moment after the impact the world already becomes a utopia because the plague that is liberalism would be dead.

I’m with Stanley Kubrick on this one. Preserve wise old guys and in order to repopulate have a 10:1 female to male ratio with females chosen for their most attractive attributes as males will have lots of prodigious reproductive work to accomplish.

Choice is irrelevant. The millions not chosen are going to be storming the doors with all their guns anyway.
