Your house in the suburbs is an easy target and one in the boonies is an easier one.

Hard to organize an armed resistance when you're so spread out and your best cover is made of drywall.

Though I do love your username

My point being the us fucking sucks dick and balls at combating against gorilla warfare. And I'm willing to bet the eu would help (at least a small amount, perhaps with training if not by suppling arms) if an organized resistance were to ask nicely.

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?

Iraq and Afghanistan.
