Time to shrug, Atlas. Bigtime. Start a ranch or a farm and work at a subsistence level. Barter. Buy used from trusted others. Learn to write letters again. Learn Morse Code and how to operate a ham radio. Buy a shortwave.
I already live in fly-over country, have lots of ham radios, know morse well, family farms, know how to hunt and we are well armed.
After the Civil War they tried to subject this state & failed miserably. It was the black republican party and political abuse then.
My ancestors were burned out of Alabama after the Civil war, and settled in Texas in the 1870’s. It took over 100 years and a leftist takeover of the Democratic party to erase that.
That said, we have recently seen what a commie (Mugabe) did to a stable and well fed country in a short period of time.
BO’s radical friends talked about supressing the counter revolution back in the 60’s. I am not afraid of a bunch of 60’s hippies, but now they will be in charge of the military and are talking about a civilian federal police force. That will trigger a war.
