Looking back at ancient cultures, how many millenia would it take for Grecian democratic ideals to re-evolve from a hoard of gun toting MAGAs? Let alone Descartes level introspection?

Gun toting MAGAs by and large survive on a supply chain of McDonalds Hamberders and insulin.

It's a point not brought up very often, but they'll crash and burn in around a week once that supply chain is interrupted.
