When it collapses, it's game over for good. The rest of the world will see to that, it will be like piranha on a pig carcass. Sad but true, ask the Roman Empire. Oh, that's right, you can't......

I personally don't think our Federal government will regain control since it will end up being the Federal government that people will reject.
There will be a core 20% or so of the US military that will follow whatever leader is in charge.
The other 80% will go back to their States, to their families and towns. They will bolster the State's own Guard.
Yes, the big towns will end up eating themselves.
Rural America will still be there, however.
So we will begin again, first at the local level, then the State...
Like we did in the first place.

I just finished reading this article and really liked issues that were brought up.The
article basically details how our freedoms are slowly being trodden upon by those
who mean us harm.

In the information age, the word rural is petty much worthless.

True, and if they succeed with disbanding the electoral college and rely on the popular vote, the mega cities and coasts will drain the rest of the country like a fat leech.

Easy answer is no, we still have all the tools needed to enact change or even force change.
The problem is people, getting people to read more, turn off the TV and talk to each other so we can learn that neither party is the right path.
If the people talk, the people will bond and then the fed would be screwed, if only people would get off their phones and talk.

Except we have gotten to the point where the votes don't actually matter anymore...
What matters is who is counting the votes.
Look at the last Presidential election, for instance.
We had the police arm of the party in power (FBI, CIA, DOJ) doing opposition research FOR THE PARTY IN POWER to attempt to change the course of the election.
When that didn't work, the police arm of the party in power then attempted a coup on the duly elected President.
This is still ongoing.
And a full quarter of our population not only is fine with that level of corruption, they fight for it.
We live in a police state now, by definition.

In the information age, the word rural is petty much worthless.
And yet that is the only way the citizens of the information age are able to eat.
The rural communities that grow the food in the first place.
So yea... a 80% reduction in our population is probable...
But most of what you are left with is people who are self-sufficient.
We cut the unsustainable portion of the population out... I'm fine with that.

Yes it's too late.
Americans allowed globalists to flood the country with illegal aliens and skewed legal immigration towards countries that don't embrace America. Critical mass has already been achieved, so America is gone.
