We haven’t had even 65% eligible voter turnout since 1908, most of the time it has been way less than that, and even less for state and local. So the eligible voters who choose not to vote are actually a bigger % than the turnout for any single party.

Also, the poorest are now the most likely to be obese. I don’t think that has ever happened before, hard to imagine them choosing the hardship sustained civil unrest would bring.

Interrupt the internet/social media/easy entertainment sources and you might see something. There’s generations now that have always had super easy access to entertain themselves with technology. Don’t know how they would handle losing it.

It's going to be tough on them.

People who are obese often have many health issues, and are noticeably not in good shape.

They often waddle as they move and are the ones most likely to use the motorized shopping carts for handicapped.

Matter of fact, I RARELY see a really disabled person using them. Virtually always it's someone who weighs at least 350 pounds and could use the exercise.

I doubt those obese urban dwellers will survive long.

The list of “internet/social media/easy entertainment sources” whose loss would set the snowflakes ablaze all comes down to one word: Electricity.

Without electricity, everything collapses. No more cell phones, no more TV or internet and no more refrigerated foods. Doomsday for modern society, really.

Does anybody really believe Kim Jong-Un would drop a nuke on L.A. if that same nuke could be detonated at altitude and cause an EMP pulse that could (in theory at least) knock out our power grid?

Or the sun could do the same thing. Take your pick.
