I think a collapse is more likely than an uprising. And half of the country will be too uninformed to notice the collapse. Everything is fine.

Yep...there will be protests...perhaps some vandalism and violence here and there, but a full blown civil war...highly unlikely. We’ve already had our Civil War (just like Rome did). After that it was emperors all the way until the “fading away” was complete.
That’s the sad part. The people who brought on the collapse, or who voted for politicians who destroyed our economy, will be the ones blaming everyone who didn’t support it and can see it coming. The ones who are preparing had better be prepared for state administrated confiscation of property, because that’s exactly what they will do in “times of suffering”. Hording will be a criminal offense. Having lifestock or land to grow food on will require you to share or be charged with crimes against public health.
