Federalist Co-Founder EXPLODES After SCOTUS Rulings, America Is FRACTURED
"If the economy collapses, they've run simulations and they've done like hypotheses on scenarios. What happens if like the water shuts off in New York? Within 3 days, people are drinking blood. You've got 2.5 million people on Manhattan Island. If there is no more running water or food, what happens? Imagine what happens when 9 million people in a single metro fan out, just killing every deer, ripping every fish from every pond, stealing every can of beans from every store. It will be a wave of destruction the likes of which a locust swarm would not expect."
Pool describes hypothetical research scenarios about urban infrastructure collapse in New York City, claiming that within days millions of people would become violent and cannibalistic. He predicts a 9-million-person exodus from the New York metro area would create unprecedented destruction as people strip the countryside of all resources. Pool contrasts urban liberals who would turn violent with rural conservatives who falsely believe they're prepared but lack defensible property.
