Don_DickleIf a revolution started tomorrow in the US to get rid of Trump, could the majority of society use hit and run tactics successfully? Or what would be the tactics the rebels would use?
The US has 300 million people in it. If even one percent of them decided to pick up a brick and go to Washington DC there isn’t an army on earth that could stop them.
Revolutions are fought by a tiny minority against another tiny minority while everyone else just tries to stay alive.

Is that true? Like, it would be suicidal for anyone in Washington and out of a bunker, plus it would be a really bad idea for literally dozens of reasons, but couldn’t the military just nuke them?
That’s not a gotcha, by the way, I hope even this administration isn’t stupid enough to do that, which makes this effectively true, I’m just curious.
You’re assuming the military would take part. If there was open rebellion in the US, it would probably cause a fracture in every branch of the military. The ones who leave would likely take up arms with the rebels, bringing their strategic and tactical expertise.
The problem is the legitimate government will have the majority of production. Just because it’s super hard to run a factory that is getting pounded by artillery. And just like last time the rebels will have a hard time sourcing arms and ammo.
