NYT warns US power grid vulnerable to years-long blackout
This is... absolute nightmare fuel. A national blackout lasting 18 months to three years. Nothing done to prevent it beforehand. It would let Trump do anything he wanted for so long—and in darkness—that America would surely awaken to a tyranny. JFC.
Seth Abramson114All Trump has to do is let Russia or China or North Korea run a very simple operation inside the United States—each stage of it would take just 20 minutes, with detection being almost impossible—and America is done. Cooked. A Trump-declared national emergency that ends democracy.
