The regime will be fucked the first time their ICE agents try to scoop a Don’t Tread on Me type in the middle of the night, and get a bullet salad for their troubles.
“Fucked” how? You think they’ll give a shit?
Let’s see how long this one lasts against one of the most well armed civilian populations in history, who have been fed a steady diet of the Right to Bear Arms, and Stand Your Ground.
The regime will be fucked the first time their ICE agents try to scoop a Don’t Tread on Me type in the middle of the night, and get a bullet salad for their troubles.
By now, even the most fervent supporters can see that if one of them gets scooped by mistake, there is zero mechanism to correct it, and they’re as good as dead.

You’re not grasping what I’m saying.
The regime is ruthless, but clumsy and stupid. They will attempt to kidnap the wrong person it’ll be a staunch MAGA acolyte or someone they care about, and they’re gonna Stand. Their. Ground.
You’re probably going to say that that won’t happen, on account of the populace being docile and pacified by job stability and low grocery prices.

Police shoot Americans every day and they put up with it. I’m not expecting them to rise up any time soon. The revolt was voting for Trump to burn it down lol

More violence is coming to USA, that’s seems a given, but daily shootouts just means more resources to the “militia” the gov uses/chooses to use. And that can get normalised. And the percentage of gun-owners killed vs ICE agents killed acceptable (basically nobody can reasonably fight off an armed force on their own, it’s logistics, not a shonen match). Good TV news tho.

To be fair, the only wars that the US has arguably lost, has been against civilian insurgencies.

Lol, that’s is basically true-ish, but the counties, cultures, and infrastructure still got oblivioned … also the conflicts ran for so long … also2 domestically it would still count as a war & the president needs wartime excuses anyway.

Oh, it would be devastating… But if Ho Chi Minh can do it, I think a nation with ~1.2 firearms per person could end up on top.
Also, the military are also US citizens and many would refuse to turn their weapons on fellow citizens.
