Apathy. That's all it would take. The sheeple following what a government controlled media put forth.

Do you think the MSM is government controlled and would accept government troops unleashing WMDs (you made WMDs the standard in your first post) on Americans in order to go after the few who would be actively committing acts of violence against the government? I can't see it. That would be a 180 degree turn around from the MSM I see today. I also think the surest way to end apathy would be such action.

An unscrupulous dictator, with no morals, no sense of compassion, paranoid to the extreme, and controlling a core of troops to support staying in power would be an extremely hard proposition to assassinate.

Thousands of other pols and bureaucrats wouldn't be though. Mayors, judges, legislators, LEO chiefs of all kinds. If enough kept turning up dead the pressure would turn back towards the top.

Sorry, Joe, no guerrilla force has ever been defeated on its own soil.

Let the Dems come into power, maybe.

In a despotic rule, the smaller pols wouldn't count.

Do I see it in the next 10 years? No.
Do I see it as a possibility in the future? Yes.

Name me a guerrilla force that has deposed a government without directly facing government soldiers at some point.
