    Honestly a lot of people around me are not pretending when you talk to them. They acknowledge it. They just dont know what to do on an individual level, trapped in their individual situations.

      That’s been my experience as well. A lot of discussions that used to be an occasional hypothetical now happen more frequently and are a lot more brass tacky:

      • what do we do if the federal government collapses / splits? Flee or hunker down? Either way, where?
      • How are we going to get food and water over the next few years?
      • how do we keep ourselves and our neighbors safe from the snatchers?
      • how do we maintain supply lines for medications over the next few years?

      We are all long on questions and short on answers. but the questions are bubbling up to the surface more quickly as more people catch on to the fact that the US is out of control. Donald Trump is literally building a bunker compound, or trying to anyway. He’s not leaving that office without a fight. The situation on the ground in the US is bad right now, but it’s going to get a lot uglier before it gets better.
