I doubt that we would be able to unite a million or so patriots. Look at how they handle militia groups now; if the group seems to be getting too "out of control", they get stepped on - hard. This country is so vast - hell this state is pretty darn big- that the citizens would have a hard time getting to where the "altercation" is. The .gov would most likely take us out one or two at a time. Even city by city, while keeping the other cities under "control". I also imagine that the U.N. would be willing to send in a few troops, maybe even a few other countries.
As for changing the country drastically, doesn't that seem to be the current admin's goal?
I agree that taxes, restrictions etc. would be the most likely scenario, but that isn't their only option.
Please be aware that I'm only engaging in fantasy thoughts here, trying to imaging what someone else might do in a way-out-there situation; one where I do not have enough info to make any accurate assessments.
It would take a whole hell of a lot more than military might to destroy an ideology, let alone one based on positive aspects like individual freedom, civil rights, equality, etc. "They" will only win if we allow their brainwashing through social and entertainment media to shift our ideology to that of complacency and indifference.
All I have to say is, take a look at Iraq and Afghanistan. A few thousand backwards-ass, cave-dwelling, terrorists have managed to keep the world's most advanced military from achieving a complete and total victory. There is a reason for this. It has to do with ideology and guerrilla warfare. Unfortunately ideology is a tough thing to deal with in a conventional military fashion. The difference here is, our ideology is freedom. Those in power are working towards trying to stomp out our ideology of freedom and substitute it with a quasi-feudal system of indentured servitude through an endless mountain of debt for every man, woman, and child.
