The US military would roll through any amount of Americans with guns.
It is unlikely a large faction of the military would actively become [technical] traitors and actively fight the US military. If they abstain. No big deal. Only a fraction of the military is needed. All the tech would still be available.
The military could spend some months building a TON of drones…get any Allies who are capable, to do the same. A fight of mostly drones and fortified heavier machinery vs normal Americans would be a bloodbath.
The morale of the dying people would be awful. That is a bloodbath. Not a fight against tyranny.
The 18+ cops at Uvalde were scared of one kid with a semi auto. The cops being that scared to do anything to protect the children of their own community while eating up 40% of the budget lends credence to not expecting more local authority and similar weaponized and experienced career folk to be much help. That’s if they are on the people’s side at all.
A look at the downfall of the trucker’s protests in Canada shows how quickly the cops and authorities will look out for themselves far above the cares or issues of the citizens they “serve”. The cops and enough authorities were engaging in disobedience, helping out the protestors, being kind to them. Once they were given more power and money, they went out in full force the next day and treated the protestors that were their peers the day before like leftist protestors. Brutally subduing the protest and ending it.
