6. Well, eventually it's going to happen. That's a given; history rhymes, after all.

Victims won't always just lie down and take it just because politically, that's the strategy that will end up with the least damage overall; hoping that Democracy will eventually win out.

There are still people getting destroyed. It's just not seeped into a significant number yet. There's still plausible deniability of an economic crash, or impact on the public in general.

There is still too much of a brainwashed or mind-numbed minority of "middle class" and "working professional" people who actually believe that they could still live comfortably if 2/3rds of the country just disappears.
(I'm not counting the Tech Bros, Finance Oligarchs and other Money Hoggers, they live in their own private fantasy bubbles that can only be breached when their private security deserts them and the guillotines start getting trundled out...)

So, it's been starting in dribbles and drabs. Fun and games at first.
I'm just hoping Blue states and regions are prepared to manage the Federal takeover attempts as more marginalized groups start taking matters into their own hands.
Civil Wars/Fascist takeovers are never pretty.
