Civil disobedience requires a large amount of cooperation from many people to be effective. Good luck with that. The anti-Trump side couldn't even be bothered to show up to vote against him (for anyone; there were more choices than Hillary on the ballot, and there's all the Congressional and other positions too). If they couldn't be bothered to cast a ballot, you really think they're going to be bothered to risk their freedom and jail time on civil disobedience demonstrations? Hah!
The only people with guns in any substantial numbers are the Trump supporters, the anti-Trump conservative Republican voters, and maybe a few violent radical leftists. The only ones there who are going to take a real stand against the government are the last ones, and they're 1) too few to make a real change, and 2) not people you want to side with anyway--people like Timothy McVeigh. In case you've forgotten, almost all the people on the left are anti-gun and consistently support anti-gun legislation. They're not going to be stockpiling arms and ammo. The ones who have are either happy with the current situation (Trump supporters), or somewhat unhappy but confident they'll be able to get politicians they prefer elected in the next election or two since they've already succeeded in getting many in Congress now ("mainstream" conservative GOP voters). It's only the leftists, liberals, progressives, etc. who are hopping mad, and they generally don't believe in gun ownership and certainly don't believe in civil war.
