Do the numbers. No way the government can control an uprising of the populace. USSR couldn't do it, and they were admitted hard core communists with government agencies just for that very purpose.

The USSR did a good job of controlling the masses for 60 or so years. The masses didn't do them in - it was economics and Reagan's policies to hurry their demise along.

I'm not saying I disagree with your premise, just the USSR argument.

IF we had enough people willing to fight and give up everything, we can win. I just don't know if there would be enough willing to get off the couch to turn the TV off to join in. Thanks to our dumbed down education system, most have no clue that their freedoms have been taken away. I like your optimism though and will be there fighting with you. I'd rather perish than sell my soul.

Only because at the beginning, the masses were disarmed feudal serfs, conditioned to harsh overlordship.

That's not America, where there are as many firearms as people.
