Is there a way to hedge for this financially if it we were to even approach this?


Not if the federal government were to take enough control, at that point you would just be trying to pick the least of the losers (best option then would be gold or crypto).

For the pendulum to swing that far, it would need to swing equally far back towards not only a violent overthrow, but a complete intolerance of even discourse on allowing any level of the things you listed. I don't think the American public is up to that, at least not until the point it impacts them like it has the average Venezuelan.

Once we get to the point of one-party governance, there will be nothing to stop the gradual slide to totalitarian rule. We’re almost there right now. If Trump isn’t able to break the system with a landslide victory, I think we’re done for.

I say landslide because anything less will be stolen by cheating. A simple EV victory is no longer enough.

You better be able to grow your own food, or enough to survive. Learn to can foods, etc.

Stock up on ammo.

There's one key difference between the two that might make the difference and it might explain one of the bad things that you left off the list.

Americans by and large will fight and if necessary die for our country, family, and freedom.

Biden just sent a deal to Maduro. He can abdicate and we'll give him a nice mansion in Central America to retire in safety. He has to do it before our election. If he does (and he won't) it will be the ultimate win for the Biden-Harris administration.

If we go full commie we are reaching it. It’s the same result every where. No freedoms, bread lines and death

If it does, doubt it lasts too long. Way too many guns out there.

US should lift the sanctions on Venezuela even though they don’t have Pride marches.

100% realistic. Nothing more dangerous than thinking “It can’t happen here”. Hell, it’s already started to happen.

"They" want new world order. To achieve this the U.S. has to fall. One plan (not the only plan) to achieve this fall is the illegal invasion that is occurring. Caous must ensu so things get bad and people are looking for a solution. The government steps in with new world order agenda and promises they can fix it. New world order, command and control are now in place

grow your food
Didnt work in Maoist China. If you grew a bounty, the government took it or killled you and your family. Many chose the later and millions starved, because those that knew how to grow food were gone. But Mao considered this success—he gained tremedous power. Never underestimate evil.

Dont think it can happen here? Go look up who Anita Dunn’s favorite political figure is, and what her current job is.

US society and economy is nowhere near as fragile as Argentina. Blame their reliance on supplying Great Britain and the British Empire with foodstuffs for 75 years before WWI that hampered their Industrial development

If you ever talk to someone who isn’t voting for Trump because they just don’t like him, remind them of what is really at stake…Federal judge appointments and possible Supreme Court Justice picks. Secure the courts for another 1o-15 years is paramount. That’s the only remaining wall against us becoming a cross between the worst of Chinese censorship and Venezuela corruption/Marxism/stupidity. Also, the potential tie breaking vote in the senate.

Many states would secede and we would be in Civil War 2.
