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.
