The left-leaning barely matter, firing a few rounds in their direction could scatter a platoon of them. Maybe 50 of them to 1 vet when considering their threat level.

The illegals are a major concern, but that can go both ways. The majority of them have a world view that is at least partly opposed to the authoritarian left on principle. And ultimately, I'd prefer an illegal who holds core American values and will fight for them over a current citizen who hates freedom and wants welfare to bleed me out. Tricky to handle regardless.

Most NATO countries have their own populace problems. I strongly suspect that if America enters revolt, it would trigger others. That would handicap their ability to assist US Gov.

Nothing about it would be easy, but the authoritarians don't have the edge they think they do. IF we are actually willing to fight.

Most of us are too peaceful. Fauci testified recently that he has received 2 credible death threats. Only 2. Anyone opposed to the left who caused merely emotional harm to less than 10% as many people as Fauci got killed would have received more than that.
