Exactly.. And even if they don’t take everyone’s guns.. The technology they have at their fingertips is beyond our imagination .. Beyond our ability to defend ourselves against.
After our generation of baby boomers is gone there will be no one left with the will to fight back.
Even the youngest baby boomers have little or no memory of The American Dream. There are a few factors that will be irreversible:
Cash will be gone sooner than we expect. Anyone who has been on a cruise ship and thinks about how a cashless society leads to a total loss of privacy must notice its negative impacts.
Debt is slavery. The end of there being students and parents who recognized that college loans, home equity loans, mortgages on McMansions, car loans that go too long to ever be paid off lead to a life that a person will never control.
GWB started the insane "temporary" near-zero interests on savings, supposedly to pay off debt. Instead, the feds spent like drunken sailors (apologies to drunken sailors) and put the US hopelessly in debt. Without interest on safe savings that allow one to prepare for retirement, senior citizens will be total victims. I was hoping President Trump would provide for interest on FDIC insured CD savings, but he hasn't done much about that or ending the Federal Reserve and its bogus money.
My vision is of a nation that's already through and globalism that collapses in its own arrogance. Pockets of civilization will survive, but it won't be pretty.
JMHO
