I will disagree with the idea that doomsday preppers are an extreme minority and with the idea that they are an invention of media. Doomsday prepping is pushed by several large religious organizations such as LDS, JW, and SDA to name a few. Between just these three organizations there are ~10M US citizens whose beliefs align with a doomsday scenario, and a large percentage of these people prep at the insistence and recommendation of their church.

There’s a bit more nuance than that: https://mormonbeliefs.org/2016/05/02/mormons-doomsday-preppers/ https://mormonbeliefs.org/2016/05/02/mormons-doomsday-preppe... https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/56kmto/doomsday_preppers/ https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/56kmto/doomsday_prepp... Doomsday prepping as a phrase is an oxymoron. If there is a Doomsday, whatever that is, toilet paper is going to be the least of your concerns, almost by definition. Maybe Darnsday prepping. Or just simple due diligence, or keeping a well-stocked pantry as your ancestors did for centuries.
