But as a whole, we don’t have the cultural values, the type of industry, or the skills and values to support 300 million people like it was an old small town in North Carolina or something.Yes.
Going back to an 1800's technology also means going back to an 1800's population.

It would drop farther than that. It would be a fall back to the stone age, not the 1800’s.

My guess would be in the event of major systemic collapse, 30 to 60 million people surviving in ConUS.
Think of five people you know.
Four are now dead. Possibly all five.
Doesn’t have anything to do with politics or race or even hair color.
Simple logistics.

“Going back to an 1800’s technology also means going back to an 1800’s population.”
Actually, it would have to rise back UP to an 1800s population.
The massive dislocation die-off might take us well below sustainable 1800s pop. levels.
