    No, they aren’t going to bomb anything. They’ll set up military road blocks and patrols to secure federal control over the area, and the soldiers doing it will come from the nearest army base.
    So to actually fight against the federal government, the chucklefucks would have to shoot their soldier neighbors, friends, sons and acquaintances in the head while other soldiers watch them from behind a heavy machinegun. Not gonna happen.

      More who needs bombs when you’ve got the NSA? All insurgents have their assets frozen, health care suspended, social security numbers frozen, banned from legal employment. They become second class citizens overnight, relying on others for food and money. Their movements tracked through phones and cars. All associates are under scrutiny. Then it’s just a matter of sending the FBI round to arrest them

      See my comment above; the US government bombing US citizens happened before. Given, they weren’t fascists but a labour union, but…
