The Great Depression, if it happened in today's America, would end the Republic in chaos, starvation, disease, and mass murdering for stored food anywhere the city dwellers could get to. All it takes is stopping the delivery trucks and time to batten down the hatches. Someone, somewhere has it all planned out and will start the collapse in their choosing, IF God does not Rapture His Church first.

I say IF because of what would happen in America if tens of millions of alive people suddenly disappeared from operating the machinery of everyday living, and all the children below a certain age suddenly disappeared. That too would end the Republic.

I think the cities would die, and because those inside would devour themselves, consuming everything “Left”. If those of us outside the big cities united to build barriers to keep them inside, we could dispose of the majority of Democrats before the dust settles. Would not take as much ammo as one might think if they were kept inside their cities! And if we had a major war, our enemies would not bomb corn fields, they would hit the cities, another plus!

People were much more self-reliant during the Great Depression. Today, it would be chaos after about 2 or 3 days. My grandmother grew up during the Depression and she saved everything. She canned her own food, was extremely frugal, and was a great Babi (I'm half Czech!). 😊
