Comment on If a revolution started tomorrow in the US to get rid of Trump, could the majority of society use hit and run tactics successfully? Or what would be the tactics the rebels would use?

Hit and run? Yeah, but against what targets? J6 was moderately successful because they were already gathered from across the country in one place. I don’t know that you could get that much opposition that deep into DC without the regime having a lot, lot more security, and I doubt they’d be as non-lethal as they were against the bulk of the J6ers. Locally it’d be a fight against the police, National Guard, and all the Rittenhouses who have a thirst for blood and would finally have an excuse to do it assuming they’d be exonerated. Americans have enough access to guns they could revolt, but the cost will be high and the people they’d be fighting are well equipped. But I’d point out Seattle has been successful in some of their rebellions, so unless the regime was willing to send in military grade artillery and level city block, you could probably capture areas and keep cops/National Guard at bay. However, I think Trump and Kegsbreath would absolutely bomb Seattle/Portland/Chicago/LA if given a reason. Waco 2.0.
