The US doesn't have a lived history of being under a violent regime nonresponsive to voters: people here won't stand for that, and you should try to give them more credit (the changes and movements aren't going to happen at the speed of posting).
Look across the world to find current examples of an oppressed people. I mean, the Russian people would rather be pressed into a meat grinder. For torture and death. Before they lift a finger against their oppressor. North Koreans, Chinese, etc. The world is full of examples of tyranny working. Western Civilization is the exception to human history. Our people being enslaved would merely be a return to normal. That's the problem I see.
We may be the exception... but what is going to ensure that our Democracy continues?
That is what I do not see. Depending on the level of oppression, it'd take a civil war. Some real ugly shit. And whoever wins is going to be a mass killer. Nothing like the politicians we have known our entire lives. The oppression is escalating, and the capacity for our system to course correct itself feels limited. Especially when one man is allowed to control all the strings. Government has become allegiant to one, instead of allegiant to the people. We have a King, now it is a question if we are still allowed an actual vote to change the King. Seems like wishful thinking.
Don't get me wrong, we have little choice to but rely on that slim hope. Going solo will not help anyone. Any actual rebellion needs organization. It needs a Governor who commands armed forces. Not sure any of them are built for that. We need a General holding office. A man of integrity and strength with the balls of steel needed to say no to tyranny. We need people we can stand with to protect our rights as they used to exist under the Constitution. And make no mistake, after saying no, holding the line, and protecting the people, it'll take mere days for Delta Force to come for them just like Maduro.
There is a system of oppression.
Where is the system to resist?
Who will mass arrest ICE as a terrorist organization and hold them accountable?
