Maybe harder than this thought for many, is the fear of speaking out locally, such as the local school board or city council, being "booed" or ostracized by some, and living with having taken a stand in some small way. Saying that school should not be a place where families fear ICE. Just that.

Self preservation does demand resistance. Every cent people have in savings will be at risk, business will fold, jobs lost. Less certain about the stock market, but the point is that all of that could evaporate in an instant. Can you imagine if the majority of the country is suddenly destitute?

All the money in your bank accounts are based on the dollar. If the dollar is devalued, it becomes worthless.

The Heritage Foundation wants to create the same kind of economy without safeguards that led to the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. But the global economy is based on the dollar, so this will be worse because the entire world will be in chaos.
