Science fiction or fact

People preparing for the apocalypse, the rich, the entitled, the NRA supporters, the ones building underground bunkers to sustain them and help them survive when the rest of us less worthy people die from the fall out of environmental misuse and greedy production of weapons of mass destruction, the people who think more with their bank accounts than their hearts and brains, the ones for whom THEM and US is a definite division, have no idea that there is another group of people also preparing.

This other group will not have sixteen thousand pound doors between them and the chaos, but it will have techniques set in place to allow those who survive to rise again and the first things those early risers will do is set off the procedures that will keep those in the first group blissfully unaware that they are not the only living people left.

Safely ensconced in their self built, self imposed prisons they can live anyway they want while the rest of us try to repair and rebuild a world not based on the mythology of the American wild west.  We will get a chance to create a world based on something better.

I suppose that people, being what they are, might eventually come back to where we are today, but then our secret weapon would be to let those living in their anthills of mass destruction know it is safe to come out again. They will emerge and within a reasonable amount of time destroy the world again.
