My advice as a neutral observer is walk and talk carefully. Civil wars are easy to start, much more difficult to end.

If there should be a civil war guess which side the police and military will support?

My advice is careful what you support online, coups are easier to track from users posts now.
You're more likely to end up behind bars inciting violence now.

The military would have to be brought in to pacify the armed protestors?!
Holy cow, only in the U.S. are civilians more heavily armed than the police.

I don't know...Turkey and Libya had coup attempts where the citizens were more heavily armed than the police, now the US...all the shithole countries.

There is a huge white supremacist problem on both, so it is hard to say exactly what the split would be

I lived through a period in Quebec when the FLQ were setting off bombs, kidnapping people and murdered a politician. Trudeau the Elder even brought in the War Measures Act.

And that model, or more likely something like The Troubles is what this can easily turn into. Far more likely than a straight up civil war.

The Troubles also featured strongholds, like Free Derry or the Shanklin Road and a large % of the population which supported the insurgency. So NI and Iraq have something in common.

More like the FLQ crisis, or the Baader-Meinhoff nutjobs.

The patriots should try to disable the intelligence gathering facilities first to blind the beast. There's no need to fight everyone.

I think what it looks like depends a lot on how much of the population supports it. The Troubles if it is a large enough population, more like FLQ otherwise.

I'm not sure what the tipping point is, percentage wise.

Why would patriots do that (or are you pretending the people trying to overthrow the government are really the patriots)?

Maybe somewhat similar but one major difference.

The Troubles is (was) an oppressed indigenous people (Catholic Irish) trying to expel a foreign occupation force (Brits). It resulted in freedom for all of Ireland except Northern Ireland. When the IRA took the fight to the homeland of the foreign occupier it resulted in the Good Friday Agreement and power sharing and more rights for the oppressed Catholic Irish.

The FLQ was trying to separate Quebec from Canada, not to expel a foreign occupation force. Canada (unlike Lincoln) does recognize the rights of a people to secede if that is what the majority desires.

Absolutely. These are rough analogies at best.

clearly you have no idea what real patriots do!
