I don’t know about that. I think what happened with Clive Bundy at his ranch was a watershed event.
And I don’t think most of the people who showed up there with arms even supported him or what he was doing (both of which are arguable), but rather that he was about to be stormed by paramilitarized law enforcement.
That area of the country is not MOST PEOPLE.
Isolating and destroying people one at a time, some very publicly and some quietly contributes to the climate of fear and silence the Beast from Modor on the Potomac is currently engaged.
A one-weekend skirmish is one thing. A drawn-out protracted resistance with suffering blamed on the resistors will have outcomes less than what you assume.
If a Christian people would not stand up and resist their faith from being demonized and removed from the public square, then I have little hope that they are going to stand up and resist much else, except riot when their beer, pizza and porn stops being readily available.
That kind of resistance is more French Revolution than a War of Independence and the results are likely to be the same: a bloodbath.
