It could go the way you describe. That would be like the Battle of Lexington in which the government troops tried for a show of force, won the day, but found out they had over played their hand.

When the citizens start pulling the cops out of their cars, that will signal that the worm has turned. There's a lot more of us than there are of them -- and some of them would rather be with Us than with Them.

If what you say were true, then there never would have been a Nazi Germany or a United Soviet Socialist Republic. And the Gulags and Concentration Camps that followed were not only overlooked by the population, they were fully supported for a number of reasons.

“JUST as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded”?

WE have @ 3 million in our military, spread around the globe. That many within the country would be a force of an average of 60,000 per state - dressed in Pres. Bobble Head's signature “Blue” shirts?

the millions in ACORN will be the first wave and they are ready to go...

Will we beat the tipping point - the ‘emergency’ Biden spoke of (not knowing he was on mike) that would cause them to take action that we would not agree with - like ??? declare a national emergency, shut down the public Internet (our ability to communicate) and unleash his private army..

Think they wouldn't do it?
I wonder how many Russians saw the Bolshevik Revolution coming before it was too late?

I wonder how many regular German people saw what happened coming before it was too late?

At least, we have those examples for a ‘heads up’ = hmmm, let's see:

First Hitler took over the banks;
then the auto industry
then health care -
The he unleashed his Brown Shirts -
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
