Overthrowing a tyrant won't take a long time. Americans can handle short term pain.

So can our military.

The so called armed citizens would not even get a chance to strike

The US military depends on well-functioning economy. They won't be able to do anything against armed population.

lol, like the military doesn't have the Federal government behind them. You getting cash from the bank to pay your insurrectionists? Hello, camera, face-recognition, etc. Oh, you're going to the ATMs instead? Great, prepare to be tracked. What, you're buying your .223 at Big 5? Either put that on your credit card, or pull money out of the ATM. DoJ puts in a subpoena for bank records and freezes accounts ... now which gas station will honor your Visa?

There are not millions of Americans willing to take up arms against the government, but even if there were, the financial tools alone would find them isolated and picked off.

Red Dawn was only a movie, bro.

That's not even addressing the fact that an armed mob is not a cohesive military force, and assigning it the same combat value is the mark of an amateur. We've all seen Meal Team 6. It ain't impressive.

Judging by 6 Jan, these yutzes would have a hard time organizing a nationwide rebellion.

That lot was probably all that ever stepped up, or ever will. Most people are law-abiding and aren't that stupid. Getting prosecuted for that shit at the capitol has left the rest of the possibles suspecting that they're being led into a trap.

And that's forming your army. We have not even touched on the complex logistics of maintaining a fighting force sizable enough to challenge the United States Military on home soil and able to make full use of America's surveillance and intelligence apparatus. I highly doubt such a movement would even have a chance to pose a serious threat let alone overthrow a government.

How crazed militia types see themselves

Millions of armed American citizens can easily disrupt supply chains of US military.

Not nearly as easily as the US military can disrupt an armed insurrection.

Hmm, who would win? One of the most elite fighting forces on the planet or your uncle bills military cosplay group?

Federal government is funded by American taxpayers. In case of insurrection it will lose its revenue and won't be able to do anything.
It's soldiers not insurrectionists that need banks and ATMs which don't work when power lines are destroyed.

They couldn't disrupt anything in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
