Now the reality...the elites will be nothing but targets. They will voluntarily place themselves in the fields of fire, or they will have to remain holed up to avoid being part of the target rich environment. In short, they will own nothing and be happy to draw their next breath. The end.

Traditionally, the elites did what they wished, and were not targeted by the majority of people. The USA is an historical anomaly. The founders built well, but checks and balances, the Bill of Rights, and Federalism have all been weakened.

The elites expect to rely on control of the information flow to program the population. They expect fleets of drones and robot warriors to protect them and enforce their proclamations.

I think before we reach that point, a hefty portion of Americans will learn to be more self-reliant. Not everyone will be able to produce most of their energy, but the few who are in a situation for it will. (Think solar with a prepper mindset instead of a warmageddon cult mindset.)

This is why our home solar produces 80% of the power my wife and I need in our all-electric home, with a plan to increase that if necessary. It's also why we're doing a lot more gardening, again with plans to increase our food production if necessary. The self-reliant Americans might sit back and let the elites wipe out their loyal Dim voters, which will reduce the power of the elites.
