Nobody wants to die. If the grocery store runs out of food, they'll go crazy though. If something "happened" in america then it would probably be an issue between the two factions, or it might be people going bonkers nuthouse crazy over watching their baby starve. Russia has been playing off the two factions for a while now, but everyone is fat and happy.
Honestly, it'd be fucking sad to see American troops fighting other American troops. That honestly to me would be the true sign of the end of our country.
goofus: riots randomly, smashes up local businesses and cars, makes a big nuisance of themselves
gallant: goes to 401 n. wabash avenue and strategically fucks the shit out of trump's hotel there
The Virgin Goofus vs. The Chad Gallant
i feel like such a fool now, i somehow read the title as chicago. chicago's probably just as likely to riot so the info still stands
in any case, don't just randomly attack shit, trump's got all sorts of properties, and if you maybe need to travel some it might be worth it to do damage directly to his estates.
I hope to see a horde of people flailing and tiptoeing around like the Chad character with florescent clothing and giant spikes for hair
Theoretically, All of the military would refuse. The National Guard being activated to work WITH police is one thing, them being ordered to directly fight and shut down a protest, Ha, good luck. Not even weekend warriors are going to stand for that shit
Please don't start fucking buildings in protest of Trump. That's just weird.
Today, we the people will grab Trump Tower by the pussy
It's not a coup per say, but don't think that the US government is not above using force on its citizens for terrible reasons.
The US government has openly defended its corruption with threats of, and actual usage of lethal force in the past, and not just on dirty hippies or crackpots.
A couple examples:
The Bonus army of 1932, whereby WWI veterans marched on Washington to demand back pay that they were promised (They were told that they would receive it in 1945, but considering that most were out of a job since the start of the great depression, it's kind of hard to wait that long.) Police and US troops + tanks cleared out the protesters and killed two veterans:

Another, though not a federal action, is the battle of Athens in 1946. Also known as the McMinn county war. This was where WWII veterans returning from war rose up against the local government due to police brutality, voter intimidation and outright corruption. The actual "battle" that happened was that after the local police tried to harshly rig the vote to keep the current sheriff in office, a large group of GI's (between a couple hundred up to 2000) fed up with police brutality and corruption with law enforcement showed up to the county jail and post office and demanded a fair counting of the votes, whilst the police had barricaded themselves inside.
There are others, though you could probably write a book on the subject.
Long story short, and not entirely related to the topic at hand is that the US government is no stranger to using violence to defend its practices. Even if those practices run contrary to the basic founding principles of our republic. I'm not advocating for riots or violence in the streets, but I would certainly be wary of police and their intentions. They aren't always there to keep order, sometimes they are there to simply retain the status quo no matter how corrupt or horrible that may be.

Case in point: The Native Americans.
There's a fucking huge difference between the US government using violence on Native Americans 150 years ago and the modern US Government using violence on its own civilians solely because they're protesting. Both of them are wrong, obviously, but that's probably the worst "case in point" you could have possibly chosen.
What the government did to defend its own practices then is far less defensible than what it might do to its citizens now. Nonetheless, sure, it's been 150 years - but my point was to demonstrate concretely that this is nothing new. Subjugation and oppression of minorities has been for the majority of our nation's history the course the government has always traveled on until the citizens demanded it change.
