On one hand, I agree—on the other, the US military has had [historically] a really hard time with farmers in flip-flops.
I think that's very wrong. The second point, is that around 44% of US households are armed. That's a couple hundred million. The only hope the army would have of suppressing them is if half of the US households assisted the army.
If it was an actual popular uprising, the army would be absolutely incapable of stopping it.
