    We saw how people handled the pandemic lockdowns, and living in a bunker would be far worse than that. Imagine the most narcissistic people in the world who are used to their every whim being catered to having to live in a box like a rat. They will go mad in weeks even if it’s a gilded box. I do think a lot of them realize this and would rather rule over a diminished empire than suffer that. My expectation is what we’ll see happening is that the US will cannibalize Europe and Canada to prop itself up.

      the clueless ones among them never got to experience nor learn about the affects of the lockdowns because they fled to places like texas that didn’t enforce ANY covid related precautions; i lived there during that time and, if it weren’t for the news, i would not have known that covid was a thing since absolutely nothing changed if you weren’t afflicted by it and even then there were plenty of posts of social media of people who nearly died; recovered; and still didn’t believe that covid was dangerous.
