    65? 65?!? My expected retirement age is 7-goddamn-2 and considering that’s in the 2050s shit could happen to that plan in the meantime…

    My retirement plan is similar but it’s more that Climate Crisis is going to cook us all alive before I need to retire.

    Wasn’t this the boomer retirement plan? Societal collapse takes a lot longer than one would think.

      Want assistance? I haven’t got much experience with people, but I do have slaughtered a bunch of poultry, I have my own axe and I’m quite keen to help

        It would create a power vacuum, and the traditional constitutional democratic norms and processes have already been destroyed.

        So it would be a literal bloodbath.

        And it probably would not end well for America.

        I don’t think you’ll find anyone with Trump’s “charisma” that quickly who would appeal to the MAGA crowd in the same way. Of course, I could be wrong about that.

            Because they were told that Trump would protect them against all of the bad things that Trump’s backers were blasting into their brains 24/7 via social media and partisan ‘news’ organizations.

            Ignorance and disinformation did way more work that Trump’s charisma which is, as you’ve said, lacking

          There’s a part of me that agrees, trump has a wild hold on the maga crowd. Buuuuut I also have trouble thinking of something that would make it easier for some non trump to channel that same energy than an assassination.

            I think there would be a civil war first and then a new system would be established if the USA didn’t splinter. It would initially be worse in terms of violence, but in the long term the fascism that Trump imposes will be more brutal. However, Russia, China, North Korea, etc. would take direct advantage of these circumstances. It’s all just absolute shit.

    Man, a lot of you are going to be absolutely fucked if we somehow don’t have societal collapse.

    No wonder so many people keep pushing accelerationist rhetoric.
