Dunno if you guys have noticed but life is still pretty good. Electricity, and hot and cold potable water are delivered with the flip of a switch or the turn of a knob. Food, fuel, clothing, medical care, entertainment, etc., is available, for pretty cheap, in any quantity you can afford to purchase. Violent crime is reasonably low.
Go “revolutionary” and this all ends. We become Syria, Libya, Egypt, etc. And we probably finish like them, too, with every little difference of opinion having its own militia ready to turn on the others as soon the current enemy goes down.
My tolerance for the pains of political malfeasance and extortion is a LOT higher than my tolerance for disease, famine, and murder. I have done “heroic” things in my life and spent time in the hospital thereafter re-cooperating from them (they hurt - A LOT). My life isn’t that important, but I don’t want my kids or my wife stuck in that sort of position.
I will advocate preparedness. Remember, none of us to do much alone. Prepare and organize.
1) The Rapture will occur followed by the Tribulation with accompanying war, famine, anarchy, bloodshed, mass murders, etc. Then it really gets bad in the 2nd 3 1/2 years, referred to as "Jacob's wrath" or the Great Tribulation.
2) Or the U.S. will crumble first, accompanied as well be anarchy, violence, bloodshed, etc.
Either way, life will not be pretty
