Civil wars and these memes are dumb, the military isn't going to bomb anything...on top of that, you probably live in the same building or next to a neighbor who would be a target, and bombs aren't that accurate, you will be collateral damage.
No, they aren't going to bomb anything. They'll set up military road blocks and patrols to secure federal control over the area, and the soldiers doing it will come from the nearest army base.
So to actually fight against the federal government, the chucklefucks would have to shoot their soldier neighbors, friends, sons and acquaintances in the head while other soldiers watch them from behind a heavy machinegun. Not gonna happen.
More who needs bombs when you've got the NSA? All insurgents have their assets frozen, health care suspended, social security numbers frozen, banned from legal employment. They become second class citizens overnight, relying on others for food and money. Their movements tracked through phones and cars. All associates are under scrutiny. Then it's just a matter of sending the FBI round to arrest them
Huh? Empire 101: never have locals tamp down rebellion. You mobile forces from the other end of the country for that
See my comment above; the US government bombing US citizens happened before. Given, they weren't fascists but a labour union, but..
The government dropping bombs onto US citizens is more likely than you think: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain
Gov. Didn't drop bombs during this and there was hell to pay on both sides.
Tiktok and its consequences have been a disaster for reading comprehension (I do not condone the Unabomber's actions and want to stress the ableism, sexism, and fascist overtones in his manifest)
They bombed Tulsa.
Any American seeing this who doesn't know the reference should read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacre
And Blair Mountain West Virginia.
