    EU won’t risk such a thing if the US is unlikely to collapse.

    The only and I do mean only scenario I see an armed resistance succeeding in toppling ghe government is if a decent chunk of the military sides with it and partakes in the insurrection

      The us tends to get tired and pull out of any war it starts particularly gorilla wars; why would this be any different?

        The US, or any country in fact, is unlikely to give up a chunk of its land because some civilians have machine guns.

        I think they’d rather flatten it before considering doing so.

        Lets say California through Texas want to have a rebellion. How long do you think it’s going to last after the army blockades all the freeways and imposes a curfew.

        Believe me I’d sleep a lot easier believing that if the government goes too far we can topple it. But when was the last time you saw something like that happen without the support of the military or the vast vast majority of the population in support.

        And the American people will not rally together due to their strong allegiance to their respective political party

          That would be a dumb place to start a rebellion. The capital is just below a bunch of liberal states it could be a quick in and out; Minecraft oof the traitors, and leave the presidential succession line to someone capable of not killing us all.

            True but by the time they decide to make a move they would’ve reinforced DC. And there’s a bunch of military bases right there.

            Even if you took them by surprise by the time you make it into any building VIPs would be secured and the military preparing a counter offensive.

            There is no successful rebellion against the US government with support of the military

              The last time when the Republicans tried it that wasn’t the case. So we know it’s at least possible.
