Our government has gotten so big and so oppressive, people are beaten into submission. They don't remember what freedom really is. Most have never experienced it. It's hard to fight for something they're unfamiliar with.
Sadly to say, maybe an economic collapse is the only way to become a free people again. I'd be all for the dissolution of Washington and it's socialist programs if good, hard working innocent Americans wouldn't be hurt by it.
During the millennium of peace, after the great tribulation, there will be no politicians to lead us astray. Every man will sit under and tend to his own vine - and no man will be able to take it away from him.

No the biggest problem is that too many Americans are too self-absorbed and just plain lazy.
I started prepping for collapse about 4 or 5 years ago. I think it’s inevitable at this point. As an ex-amellinialist, I say amen to your last comment.
