Agree. Add to that whole “we gotta live our lives thing,” these things are peculiar to particular counties in particular states. The people in those states have to do what they can. I, for instance, cannot jump in the car and drive to Broward Co., FL. I have commitments and a family to care for. And what would I do when I got there? I have no official capacity or jurisdiction there. Some things just suck.   Typically, for armed or unarmed insurection by the population to occur things have to get really bad in a way that threatens more than how you feel about a different ideology or election result. I’m talking basic needs for life. Food, shelter, clothing, etc.  Unless, there are some key figures that can really motivate the people in one way or another.  Success is another thing all together. Our gov is powerful and not separated from us by an ocean. Travel time to suppress insurection is not the same as in 1776. And although England was very powerful at that time it is not comparable to the power the US gov can bring to bear at any moment for whatever the reason.
