The US government seems to want people to violently revolt.

I imagine they want to use it as an excuse to take absolute power. But I don't think they thought it thoroughly.

food riots/ looting -> martial law -> dictatorship

Oh the trump administration is 100% hoping people revolt - they're already discussing invoking the insurrection act

If they are right, then the US is fucked.

I really think they are wrong, and that the US is less fucked, but well, I've been wrong several times in my life.

Not an US citizen, conservative states seem to have more guns. If there's Civil outcry it could easily be people vs people
