Nope, not until they lose their own, and maybe not even then. I love a great FAFO face eating story as much as the next, but you simply canNOT exaggerate the levels of cognitive dissonance these people are capable of enduring before their heads explode.

True. My MiL was just like “well, I guess we’ll just use oil lamps and live like the 1800’s” if everything collapses ignoring completely they are 100% reliant on medicare, social security, and the VA to live, as is her whole damn extended family. Fucking idiots.
