Americans fantasize about a federal government crash leading to total societal collapse.
Remember that we have 50 states designed to operate autonomously.
Those states have counties.
Those counties have cities and townships.
There are so many layers of local leadership.

Each state has a military force to maintain order.
Each county has sheriffs.
Each city and township have police.
Remember that America was built from the local level upward, not the other way around. We’ve largely forgotten this as power was ceded away, but it can be renewed.

Right now, many local leaders are weak and soft because their local offices have become little more than stepping stones to the federal level.
But given any federal collapse, we already have fully designed systems and hierarchies in place to operate independently at many levels.

Local governments would instantly become important again. People would hold special elections and get leaders who act. Local leaders who aren’t effective would be hoisted out of their chairs much faster.
We have the systems already in place, folks. Don’t live in fear.

The federal government was never meant to be your all-encompassing replacement for God. Federal power was meant to be limited. We built our nation as clusters of local governments first that connected to others by mutual consent for enhanced trading and defense purposes.
I am not saying a federal collapse is imminent. But even if it were, we have fifty autonomous states that just need to remember they’re the original building blocks of this nation, dust off their cojones, and operate as fifty interlinked nation’s again.
If you’re scared and frightened because the bloated federal government is puking all over the place and seems gruesomely sick, check out your local city government. Check into your state government. Who’s in power? What kind of leaders are they? Educate yourself on who has power.
Always educate yourself on you is directly over you in power. These are your local leaders and you could march to their house if they screw up their job. They are accountable to you.
Educate yourself and take local government seriously and we won’t need to rely on the feds.
