Bah, cut the power for a week tops and even the "supporters" will turn against any of the rebels. Sure there is a lot of rabble from all kinds of people but when it comes down to brass tacks they won't trade their lifestyles to actually go through with anything remotely close to a rebellion or war. We don't have the stomach to wage a real war in a country that 90% of Americans can't find on a map and don't give a shit about. Yet you think that there are enough people that are willing to have any sort of a war in their own backyards?
It would take a hell of a lot more then the "wrong" person getting elected for any significant portion of the country to rise up. Something on the level of true hunger and no power. Hell we just had the "great recession" were a significant portion of the population lost a ton of money, their homes, investments, retirement accounts, jobs, etc while the banksters that actually caused the problem got richer. That didn't cause mass rebellion and this election sure won't.
The total chaos that followed hurricane Katrina is a fine example. Remember the old adage, "Anarchy is never more than just nine missed meals away."
