That is what it looks like will happen to me.
Trump could lead a brigade to the WH with pitch forks and torches, but I think it will be more convenient for him just to play some golf.

Only the Three Percent matter, not the 300 million whining on the internet.

The insinuation is that these guys are going to finally get pissed and take out the government.
Yeah, well, a whole lot more than 3% - more like 20% - rose up en masse in arms in 1861. They fought tenaciously, long and hard. And they lost. They lost and got slaughtered. We all learn about that in school.
No, there will not be an overthrow of the government by the 3%. If 3% decide to attack the government of the United States, 80% of the people will back the government going in with the Army and slaughtering them, and they will be rooted out and slaughtered.
Men who play soldier in woods do not, in fact, matter. Voters do. If people on the right want to be taken seriously and get some of what they want, they have to offer policies that are appealing to the majority of the people.
They don't. So they lose. Then they lose again. Then they flare up, and lose yet again. If they actually go nuts and resort to arms, they will lose - and get themselves killed in the process.
If the Right, the 30%, really want to have a hope in hell of having any further influence over American politics, if they don't simply want to be ruled by the 70%, then they need to start offering realistic economic policies that actually appeal to the majority of the people, not the sort of plantation economy idiocy they have kept recycling. To get power, they've had to resort to foreign threats to get the people - who NEVER agree with their economics - to vote for them. They were aided by the military incompetence of LBJ and Carter. But that's done now.
If the radical right REALLY wants to resort to armed insurrection, I say BRING IT. We will shoot them down and get rid of them, just like we did the slavers, and that will physically ELIMINATE the voting bloc from the electorate, making it easier to move ahead with rational policy without their obstructions.
No, the Right does NOT have the armed power to take on the people and military of this country. If they try, we will unite and slaughter them. And feel justified in doing so. And BE justified in doing so, actually. The Second Amendment does not give individuals the right of rebellion. And there is nothing being done to anybody in America right now that justifies an armed revolt against this government. Slavery? Yeah, that actually DID justify slave rebellions. But those days are long past now. Segregation? Less so, but yes. But now? Disliking Obamacare? Hating Social Security? That justifies shooting people? The hell it does! Anybody who launches an armed insurrection in the America of TODAY is a rabid dog who will be taken out.
If some 3% thinks it's going to override the will of the 97%, then BRING IT. That way we can kill you and be done with you for good.

Done! The Three Percent (Sons of Liberty) overthrew and gained independence from the most powerful government in the world at the time, the British Empire.
The Donald Clinton administration wouldn't stand a chance, if it came to that.

It was 33%, and they also had the French Navy, the French Army, the Spanish Navy and the Dutch financiers behind them.
And they were a 3-month sea voyage from England.
3% is one-tenth of 33%. It's right here. And there will be no foreign help.
NOBODY IS INTIMIDATED by the military threats of yahoos. If they go nuts and actually act on their threats, we get to kill them all and be done with them.
You will either persuade the majority of people in this country with arguments, or you will be ruled by them. If you take up arms against them, you will die.

Lincoln managed to do it.
Hillary will too, if you make her.
If you draw the gun, do not expect the rule of law to protect you. Note how the police say "Fuck the law" and just kill whoever steps out of line? Yeah, well, you start shooting up the federal government, and you're going to have the whole country ready to kill you, and piddling things like laws and rules and "posse comitatus" isn't going to stop Hillary from doing what she needs to to restore order any more than habeas corpus stopped Lincoln.

You cut off the electricity and the water, and access to medical care, and food. You surround the area and you let them starve and die of disease.
If you get tired of it, you set the forest on fire and burn them out.
It's just not that hard, when you have airpower, and heat sensors, and tanks, and unlimited time, and your opponents have earnestness and firearms...and mortgages and mouths to feed.
Survivalist criminals escape into the woods for awhile. They get caught. Or their bodies get found a few years later.
