France used to have kings bro…
Kings with so much money they not only funded but sent their own seasoned commanders across an ocean for a revolution against their rival just so they couldn’t have it.

The wealthy don’t have to control the government, and they don’t even have to be wealthy if the rest of us don’t want them to be. That’s how modern wealth works, it’s 1’s and 0’s. If the next US government says “that’s mine or your cut off from US banking”. They’re gonna fucking transfer that money, be ause it’s not even the banks to begin with.
We have an absolute shit ton of options to work with

They can abandon all their possessions that are stateside and try to flee, and maybe some do. But we’re talking about the type of people medieval dragons were based on, they ain’t running to save themselves over what they’ve hoarded.
Loads of shit wrong with that statement, but most obviously that only conservatives have guns.
Tldr:
You said one thing is possible.
I said not only is that thing possible, but more extreme things are.
Logically I don’t understand how I can help you understand this, and that’s the only way I know to explain things, I’m sorry.
