This time around, the monsters are going up against those of us who have a tradition of faith and liberty. Most importantly, many of us have the will and the means to say NO in the only way that tyrants understand.
They have a large, well populated nation that is rather diverse to conquer which should prove something of a challenge, particularly as their moves are anticipated and motives transparent. Just the same, We the People have to very smart since we're dealing with the most treacherous regime to ever hold the reigns of power in this nation.
By "diverse" I mean the differing spectrums of civility, beliefs, ideology, work ethic there are from one community to the next, county, state or region. For instance, if an obnoxious mob like that bunch from D.C. escorted by out-of-jurisdiction police officers were to show up terrorizing someone in the area where I live, the sheriff's department here would flip their lids. With backup from neighboring cities they would put that crowd back on the road out of the county, detain the officers and confiscate their gear, perhaps even arrest them - how rough a time those officers got would rely heavily on how pissed off the patrol Lieutenants and Sergeants get. I'm not speaking out of turn here, they've jumped on outside bonehead officers in the past and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Like I've posted elsewhere, I guess we're slowly slouching towards a Ft. Sumter-ish kind of moment somewhere, one of these days.
