Buddy, if the "citizens", read lemmings, didn't hold any loyalty to the state the state wouldn't exist.
Also you can't compare the yellow vest mass movement to the government standoff of a bunch of ranchers, fudds, etc. The reason I brought up Occupy Wall Street is because that is what happens when things become MASS movements without proper focus. Lemmings trying to "change" things through passive means. Armed resistance by a bunch of people who still believe in "state rights" is a far cry from people protesting taxes and poor mismanagement of funding.
The tyranny of the US government and its shadowed conditioning is an insidious one that does not make itself known, or at the very least tries its best to not be seen. When armed feds show up saying "Hey, this is ours, pay taxes or fuck off", that's a dick-on-the-table move that will of course trigger a response from the kind of people at the ranch standoff. But the large masses, the HUGE OVERWHELMING LEMMING SLAVE MASSES, will not react the same way, did not care to support the people trying to stand up against tyranny, believe in "rights" being restricted, and are a passive herd that tries to convince their masters to be a bit more lenient with the whippings so long as they keep getting fed.
I don't see the US lasting into the 2030's. I think you're right to assume that things are on the verge of tipping over. The dam is going to bust eventually, there is just too much going on and I once again insist that you and others visualize the United States post-Trump. It'll be a mess. The political climate will be hot again. But to say that the American masses, that the MASSES OF THE WORLD are as ballsy as some "patriotic, muh freedom loving ranchers" is a unprecedented when they've put up with the global governance of zog for close to 3/4ths of a century.
