Up in open rebellion? If someone like mamdani actually “won” an election in America it would be hard for to stomach and not take up arms.

Arms against the govt would never work.
Tax rebellion would.

Obama couldn't hold Mamdani's panties when it comes to communist ideology. They will use Obama strategically to convince Americans he was. The only thing Obama has in common with these communists, marxists, and muslims running today is they all want to destroy America.

Trump could be our very last President we ever have. If the DSA wins the White House in 28 we will probably see the term President changed to General Secretary or Chairman.

Obama gave us Obamacare which destroyed insurance rates due to paying for deadbeats Healthcare. We are way beyond that now as a country. We have people in jail that everyone knows is innocent. We are on the cusp of turning to a marxist/communist country. They are blatantly flaunting it now. It is truly unbelievable where this great country is headed....please wake up.

Nobody rose up when FDR and Obama were elected. Why would they now?

The US is ripe for the taking.

Stolen election…did nothing.
Those that did…rot in prison while all is quiet.
Pandemic tyranny…accepted.
Education systems teaching lies indoctrinating …meh, no big deal.
Riot after riot over lies…billions lost…meh so what.
Assassination attempts and murders…clutch pearls.

On and on and on…yeah the US is primed for the taking internally.

We love tough talk about the 2A but I cannot envision a scenario where Americans take their country back from government.

We're too big. Geographically and population-wise.

I could envision a state or two or more saying frick it and banding together to secede... but as individuals, theres not a whole lot that can be done.

If it ever came down to the people taking up arms against the government then the people are in luck. The military would not support these Commies and Socialist. The might get a lot of the people in the Pentagon. The people that actually matter though would actually stand with the people though. The regular ranks of the military is one area that these idiot Dems have not taken over fully or weakened sufficiently. Let’s hope it never even has to come close to anything like that. It’s to easy to win at the ballot box if people will just get off their arse and vote.

Just to finish out the scenario though. Should these Commies take over and start doing such radical things that people started fighting them then I would imagine that these Communists would ask China to come in and deal with any uprisings and keep them in power.

Hear ya, but those same states are likely top 10 in federal reliance to make up for their lack of economy

He also spent a whole lot of time and effort trying to normalize Americans to Muslims.
Right after 911.

You somehow think an insurgency of over 50 million would somehow fail?

We red team/blue team this to death even in the late 80's/early 90's. The outcome of these would surprise you.

To answer the OP.
Probably not. A socialist president would most likely not get much done with Congress.

You could bring America to its knees by shutting down McDonald’s for 24 hours.

They’d support whomever was guaranteeing their government pension, just as cops would.

Is there an actual communist in America? I haven’t seen any in national politics.

Trump, with his staggering manipulation and control of our entire economic system, is closer to actual communism than anyone.
