The US has experience being beaten by smaller, poorly-armed forces.

They have the popular vote, most gun nuts are right wing. And they have the military, most of which voted trump. Are there even enough people who are left of center to fight against that?

That’s been the outcome of every war we’ve fought for 50+ years. We just lost a 20 year war against goat herders.
Guerrilla Warfare by Che Guevara is a good starting point.

This is what cracks me up about the “your rifle won’t fight a tank!” jackasses.
It’s like, have tanks ever worked against a domestic insurgency? Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, I can’t think of any time the U.S. military just wiped the floor and left.

And in those circumstances, the loss of life was even less of a hit. For every American you ordered shot, that’s one less customer or soldier you have, if the soldier you ordered to do the killing doesn’t just turn on you or refuse. Your position becomes weaker, even if you gain ground anywhere.

That’s just what they want you to believe. Most of the country does not support the capitalists. Support for Luigi remains bi-partisan.
