Revolutionary war Patriots, Vietcong and Mujihadeen all say hello. One does not have to destroy an occupying force to win they only need to make the occupation more costly than it is worth.
If there was ever fighting in this country between the government and the people it's not going to be some showdown with armor planes and artillery. It will be a occupation where insurgents (Patriots) are doing hit and run attacks against personel and material and disappearing back into the population. Ambushes, harrasmant and supply chain disruption. We think of a potential second civil war like the first but really it would be more like the French resistance in WW2. Tanks and bombers do fuck all against insurgents even drone strikes are not that effective when your insurgents are mixed into the civilian non combatant population. Plus if you need some AT4s or Javelins for armor it's likely that at least part of the military / national guard would desert Federal service and take equipment with them anyway. Plus there are those supply shipments you've been hitting. The Media as you mentioned is probably a bigger threat than any armor or drone.
The amount of guns American citizens have dwarfs the military.

THIS is what they have. And we don't.
