“You would be surprised how many people in this country are of the same opinion.”

That’s good to hear.

This is something that will have to shape up over time in a serious and coordinated manner if Trump is not able to thwart to coup.

Those talking of civil war, armed resistance, etc, need to refresh their knowledge of American history.

The Revolutionary War succeeded because it had experienced military leaders, were fighting an enemy thousands of miles from their home country (in a day where that distance took weeks to traverse), no communication system, a crude industrial base, and the support of a large nation actively at war against the enemy. Even then it was a close run thing.

The Civil War failed for the South because it was fighting a larger, stronger enemy (both numerically and economically), with its home base adjacent to the South, with the ability to produce large amounts of armaments, clothing, food, and with a telegraph and railway system they enabled them to move large numbers of men and equipment. The South has no external support, and were gradually worn down by North’s advantages. If not for the South’s fighting spirit and the leadership of the Army of North Virginia (many other units being deficient), the war would have ended in 1862.

We will soon be in 2021. Advancements in military arms and technology, particularly aircraft, tanks and missiles, as well as satellite communications and night vision, make any thought of an armed citizen rebellion a fantasy. Nothing short of massive support from a fully equipped branch of the US military, perhaps the Marines, would prevent a total rout. The best citizens could do is protect their towns and rural areas from an organized assault by BLM/Antifa gangs. Taking on a US Military fully supportive of the Deep State would make Pickett’s charge look like a stroll in the park.
