    You really think that the US has only fought some kind of desperate monkey people with nothing to live for, huh?

    The only militia’s, or similar groups, the US have fought in recent history have been Vietnamese, North Koreans, Nicaraguans, Iraqi’s, and Afghanistani’s who, apart from their formal militaries, were militia groups hiding in caves 9 times out of 10. This isn’t a discussion about who they were or what they hoped to be, but about the effectiveness of their resistance and the impact on their lives.

    For a group to effectively rebel within the US it would require a complete abandonment of normal life and even then it likely wouldn’t be meaningfully effective.

    Americans are not motivated to get rid of Trump. Parts of the population is ineffectual, complacent and undependable, the other is fully onboard with Trump.

    Yeah, most American’s don’t want to give up literally everything to become an ineffectual or powerless martyr. Let’s get it straight, unless there is a coordinated effort (such as a state originated rebellion like the civil war) then no person has enough power in the US to effectively make a difference. There aren’t enough people universally coordinated to cause an effective general strike, instead it just means getting fired from your job. If you join a rebellion then your family has to subsist without you.

    The Overton Window has shifted too far for a rebellion to spontaneously ignite.
