If they truly false flag an EMP attack, when the economy crashes and the tax dollars dry up, they won’t be able to maintain it for even 6 months.
The big cities will burn, all the troops will be sent there, and the rural states will be on their own. At that point the governors will have to take over, and, what will DC do then?
That sounds interesting, you should start a thread on that scenario.
Governors, we always think only in terms of the feds. If we did have a total collapse, the feds would be mostly busy protecting us from outside threats, and protecting and operating military bases and critical installations, moving and/or protecting troops and bases scattered around the world, and maintaining some naval operations foreign trouble spots like Korea and so on, and the governors and National Guard would be doing most of the internal.
The feds would be totally over stretched and facing logistic and transportation nightmares.
