The first step to any of these things is explaining to me how we break Americans out of their complacent stupor. And honestly, the only way I can think to do that, is to wait for things to get much much much worse. Not until people are literally fighting for their survival will they be willing to do much of these things.

I think this is true too. People are too fat and comfortable and lazy to bother. It's going to get so much worse to get them to wake up. Hopefully it won't be a loved one getting dragged off by the gestapo to convince them to resist.
