GOVERNMENTS DONT "COLLAPSE" AS IN SUFFER A FAILURE AND JUST VACATE THE POWER CENTER OUT OF EMBARRASSMENT
RIVAL POWERS CONTEST THE CENTER AND PUSH THE OLD GROUP OUT
A L W A Y S
E V E R Y T I M E

IF NO NEW GROUP SHOWS UP THE OLD ONE KEEPS GOING FOREVER, NO MATTER IF THE PEOPLE ARE STARVING OR THEY HAVE A CIVIL WAR ON ALL FRONTS
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS IS A NEW GROUP THAT HAS GUNS AND WILL SAY "COMPLY OR YOU WILL BE SHOT"

WE JOKE ABOUT FEDPOST BUT THESE ARE THINGS CURTAILED BY THE (PROPORTIONALLY VERY TINY NUMBER OF) FEDS FOR A REASON -- THAT IS THE ACTUAL, ACTUAL THREAT TO THE STATE
THE ONLY REAL THREAT TO IT

THERE'S ONLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIVE AND TWENTY THOUSAND FEDERAL TRIGGERPULLERS, A TINY PORTION OF ALL FED CADRES (MOST JUST MAKE POWERPOINTS) WHICH IS A MINISCULE SLICE OF THE POPULATION
OTHER THAN THESE, THE CLIQUE ONLY HAVE WHAT AMOUNTS TO AUXILIARIES
LOCAL COPS, JAN6 HUMPTY DUMPTY NATIONAL GUARD WITH UNLOADED GUNS
ALL FLAKY CADRES WHO MIGHT DECIDE THEY'RE BETTER OFF NOT SHOWING UP TO THE PARTY

THE ACTUAL POSITION OF THE DC NERVE CENTER IS INSANELY PRECARIOUS, A BLM EVENT COULD WRECK THEM
THEY SURVIVE ONLY BY VIRTUE OF NOT HAVING ANY INDEPENDENT POWER CONTEST THE CENTER
COVENANT OF SWORD AND ARM AT THEIR PEAK COULD TAKE TODAY'S DC IF THEY JUST MARCHED AT IT AND STOPPED FOR NOTHING
