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.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
