The problem with this is how stratified and disjointed American society is. Yeah, a lot of people in the US have something to lose. It’s pretty common to have a fairly normal life with access to plumbing, clean water, and a high school education.

But for people like a homeless black family in a poor area of town, society has already collapsed. They already live in a fascist police state. Not to pull out the Stalin quote, but it’s hard for me to imagine what freedoms are being enjoyed by those currently in extreme poverty.

Could it get worse? Yeah and it probably will.
