The status of "The Contract," as you say, is also highly visible along the Texas - Mexico Border, as I have been documenting almost nightly. People are starting to sit up and take notice, because of the presence of an armed militia group in one border county. It's worth pointing out at every turn, that their activity would be unnecessary if the Federal Government would do something other than encourage more out-of-control illegal immigration.
Memorial Day 2020 showed us just how fast the veneer of civilization is ripped off. The difference between blissful safety and the loss of all the trappings of civilized life (access to food, medicine, and cash - while being burned out of your business and maybe your home) was mere blocks. If the unrest had continued much longer it would have consumed us all.
So, since that time, a massive upgrade in personal security systems paired with an escape plan for the next time. For those who cannot afford one or both of those items, the downside is precipitous.
I'd rather not see a rise in vigilantism, but that's definitely one direction. When lawful people are backed up against the wall, they may match the violence of the criminals.

I'm with you. I'm not predicting it. I'm warning about the possibility.
The Roman Empire imploded. The Third Reich imploded. The Democratic Party is in the process of imploding.
Disturbing simplicity, and I hope you are wrong. But I fear not.
