“It would get you nowhere - really fast - unless you had the entire US military solidly on your side”
Which side would the military be on? The generals may be part of the deep state, but I am not so sure about the enlisted.
Please look at this article that appeared, in of all places, Time last year. Most soldiers today are there because their father, uncles, & grandfather were there. Are the E1-E5 going to fire on their brothers, fathers, grandfathers, and uncles?

We may not like it, I don’t, but we have reached a place where there are only three or four options.
1. To leave, immigrate somewhere else.
2. To engage in some form of passive-aggressive resistance like the people in the PRC are doing (And it isn’t working that well)
3. Violence.
4. Some combination of two and three.
After today option three looks a lot more likely.

Texas is 1.6 times the size of Iraq. Afghanistan is slightly smaller. They have kept our military at bay for about 2 decades.
