This country was founded and there was no electric at the time. I’m pretty sure we can adapt pretty quickly. I wouldn’t want to be in a city of course.
At the end of the day it would actually be good for the country. Those defendant on Gov will starve or be killed off fairly quickly and those who can take care of themselves and have the mindset to do so will survive. As a bonus, Trump gets to be dictator for a few years to drain the swamp.
You really should read “One Second After.” It will open your eyes.
There's the rub - I wouldn't want to be in a city with the typical three days of food or less. I wouldn't want to be in the path of the city people flooding out into the surrounding suburbs. Yes, our rural areas that grow food will be more or less fine, as will our Mormon areas, but the majority of our population is in cities. In an EMP the far-left will be obliterated.

I agree. This book presents the horrific consequences of an EMP attack to the individual, the community, society and the nation. Many go beyond an individual’s survival skills.
This book is a must read.
No we would not adapt quickly.
Over 90% of folks back then knew how to grow crops and take care of animals. They knew how to deal with making clothing or even fixing clothing, knew and had respect for using fire for warmth, light and cooking. How not to freeze.
And most were not racked and stacked in urban cubicle prisons with no cross ventilation. And did not live 20-30 floors up or more in a building.
Nope.
Population was <1% what is now, would probably get back to that level pretty quickly too.
I respectfully disagree.
Those people will kill and harm anyone around them to get their free stuff.
Remember, those people have The Gibs, and The Gibs does not stop just because society has imploded.
It is up to all the good folks to kill all those bad folks, but no one wants to do the heavy lifting.
I mull this concept because there are poor people living near me, and they will descent upon my neighborhood like grasshoppers looking for a meal post SHTF.
