The dynamics of the game are radically different than they were in 1862-ish.
The US Army rolled the Confederate Army then.
The US Government will not be fighting an organized military next time around. If the US Government wants to up the ante, their dependents will become targets.
Agree, this will not go down like the revolutionary or civil war with armies marching against each other. This should also amount to more than a couple of Ruby Ridges, spun by the media as bringing domestic terrorists to justice.
A winning scenario would be a widespread uprising putting pressure on the democratic strongholds (metropolitan centers that can easily be denied of supplies) until the sheeple realize that their elected heroes are selfish bastards, unwilling and incapable to provide the promised security and handouts. That he who is willing to trade liberty for the promise of safety does not deserve either and will lose both.
Keep in mind that the numeric majority in this country voted for Hillabeast. You cannot and should not kill 50% of the voters to get back to sanity but you can and should teach those folks the harsh lesson that they made a deal with the devil when falling for promises of free handouts and preferential treatment for their identity group.
How is 'their' government going to deal with multiple Katrina-type disruptions all over the country? They have to uphold rule of law in these shitholes (good luck with that), provide aid, restore service, figure out who is behind the denial of service attacks, and fight the insurgency. Not - going - to - happen.
They know the outcome of something like this already from simulations about infrastructure vulnerability. A massive solar flare would cause a similar widespread interruption of food supplies, power, etc. and they know how many lives and billions of dollars that would cost even without having to deal with an unpredictable opposing force. Once the socialist masters are realizing whats going on, they will be heading for their safe hide-outs and will leave the serfs to themselves.
Having fueled racial and ethnic tensions for years would then become the Left's undoing. Do you think that once the hood rats go hungry they will care who voted blue in the posher neighborhoods? Do you think that the strange bedfellows the Left assembled under the banner of "disadvantaged" will cooperate effectively against the opposing camp when the lights are out and the food is gone? No, they will go after each other and the survivors will realize quickly who their real enemy was and is.
If you do not want to go down that road, you have to sit back and wait until the whole socialist ponzi scheme collapses on its own. Always has, always will.
There is no point in violence against .gov just because you "had enough" if the majority in the country supports that government.
