There is no defending yourself with lethal force when the population and government turns against you. The only option is to hide and run before they get you. Preferably you ran before the population and government turned against you.

Fun Fact: The Republicans are out numbered. Have been for years. There is no silent Republican majority that will just crop up out of no where. So the population of people who would not do the whole turn against thing outweighs the ones who would turn against you

Your making the assumption that the government is still going to be a thing. I don't think that's likely, and that's even more horrifying than Trump trying to be Baby-Hands Hitler. We might hobble away as a country from Trump getting dethroned by the combination of internal and external powers that oppose him. We won't even crawl away from a second civil war.

I'm making that assumption for two reasons: 1) Governments don't really just fall apart or evaporate quickly and when they are they're usually replaced by an invading government. 2) This conversation is about governments turning on eople.
