Americans are the most well armed free people in the world. That is an important distinction. One that the “brownshirts” will encounter, should the same tactic be used on us.
IMO (and most others I’m guessing) the real unknown is the boiling point of the citizenry. It must be high considering the repressive nature of our government and press and no outright rebellion has yet happened. Will it be reached before it is too late?
IMO, the vast majority of us good people are utterly seething with hate and discontent, just below the surface. I have become convinced, after watching left wing liberal socialist pinko commie geeks, for years, that there is only one method left that will bring relief. I don't how many months or years it will be till 212 degrees is reached, but I am convinced it will be reached. It is also possible that the government might manufacture a Reichstag moment as well, and it will be ON.
