Obligatory: not inciting violence, but definitely an interesting scenario.
There have been a number of military/government think tanks that have all confirmed that when the US government formally turns on its citizens, the citizens ALWAYS win very easily.
The military and government are far more dependent on the electrical grid and transportation networks (all publically available information) than it would appear. A handful of people with rifles can continually shoot out high importance transformers from a distance and cripple cities for weeks (even longer if they keep coming back to drive off the repair workers or destroy every fix). Sure, bases and government buildings have backup power, but they would be so preoccupied with looting and crime epidemics, forces would be spread thin. Also, the interstate system is paydirt for roadblocks in the form of downed trees or IEDs to make them unusable. That would include tanks, troops from other cities/states, and food trucks to the non-farming urban areas. It really is a mess.
If a tyrannical government can't be recalled, and the voting fraud prevents them from being removed, it would appear that metaphorically bleeding them and their minions to death is the last resort.
Again, strictly an interesting observation, not inciting anything.
I'm personally aware that substations are insanely flammable. I'm talking the ones that govern inbound long-distance transmission lines. We lost one that would have crippled our area if we didn't have the largest nuclear generation capacity in the US. Without it tho, we couldn't sell excess power to CA because all of our northern import feeds were down for over a month (we'd import cheap power and export surplus Nuclear for profit to CA) as the replacement parts were more than 1500 miles away and could only move with a special road-convoy at speeds less than 40mph.
Lose a handfull of those around any area - and that area goes dark and stays dark for good. You can't move the replacement parts into a warzone, and they're too big and heavy to airlift (otherwise ours would have been too - it was near an airbase - so I'm sure they considered it). They were even too big for rail.
Hey, member when the Cartel beat the Mexican army a couple months ago by holding a town where the armies families lived hostage, and wereout manned, and out gunned when they caught El Chapo's son.......I member ?
And were forced to release that piece of shit because it wasn't worth it, no need to bring the " pain" into my hood yo!
If it be comin today shiz, then hit where it hurts, family, probably no, bank accounts, fo sure, property, fo sho, embarrassing them.......oh yeah!! These Narcissistic Fucks will gladly " eat'a da po poo" before looking bad in public!
This my friend is how our Prez can calculate every move they make.??
There was an extended power outage in my city some years back. Within 4 days, people were being attacked for their generators.
Let's try civil disobedience first.
The woody perennial plants with single trunks and bearing lateral branches of freedom must be watered from time to time...
The goal of war is to make the other son of a bitch die for his country - or in this case - county.
Winning the war doesn't mean victory. Some white supremacist faggot made MLK take a bullet in the head. Who won in the end?
MLK didn't govern. Irreverent.
Your greatest strength is that you are behind every tree. Trade that in on what?
