NOTE: I AM NOT ADVOCATING THIS.

But, the whole Alamo-last-stand thing is pretty frickin stupid. The might of the federal government is massive, and they would eventually win.

The only way to win against a force like that is political or, if too corrupt or entrenched to deal with peacefully or in the media, through asymmetric warfare.

For example, Alquada’s biggest mistake was trying to make a grand stand in Iraq. That war, for all its errors, was a great draw for muslim loonies throughout the world, drawing them there to fight our hardened troops far, far, away from the shore of the USA.

The really, really, nasty groups (Mexico Cartel, various prison gangs) don’t try to fight armed cops. They follow the cops, lawyers, government people, home and go shoot them in their beds.

And it works (in Mexico and other hell holes).

Anyway, long way of saying, I DO NOT SUPPORT anti-government violence in any way, shape, or form, but if any of these people were to be effective, they’d think about some sort of asymmetric way of going about their business.

It could even be passive aggressive, like laying down in front of bulldozers. This would have the advantage of: (1) playing to Americans’ since of supporting the underdog (2) not creating a martyr (on the wrong side) and (3) a tactic the Left/MSM understands and would appreciate.

Or geared to property damage, etc. The ELF people do this. (They are the most violent domestic terrorists, BTW.)

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A OBSERVATIONAL COMMENT RE: STRATEGY.

Not an incitement to do something stupid.

I imagine there were many such discussions made before the year 1776...

I have a better idea. Force the MSM to do their jobs.

Boycott every advertiser of MSM shows and Chick Fil A them. Start with the NY Times since they’re vulnerable right now financially. Stick the knife in their backs and Slim will get rid of them fast. With advertisers pulling out, with no one to buy them, they will fall into bankruptcy and die.

Then on to the next target. That’s how you win the war.
