"Today, I read that half of Americans haven't got a pot to pi$$ in. For them, TEOTWAWKI has already come."
Step 1 has been taken, recognition that what is happening is elitist exploitation of society overall and squeezing every last penny out of the people, who have not organized to defend themselves and our way of life.
I would argue people have take the first step, election of Donald Trump, who may be the only hope in reversing the malaise brought to us by Soros and company. And, I might add that the CEOs of Google, Facebook, etc., are part of that same problem. They, for example, kicked in with Soros to put BLM on the map as a destabilizing influence.
The whole Socialist initiative to bring down society and assert fascist, totalitarian control of an impoverished electorate and then reversing Democracy is well in motion. And through Orwellian means, they project responsibility on the other side, those who defend liberty and the American way of life.
The root causes of TEOTWAWKI are very obscure . . .
