Yes, what happened in France would be like people in the US going after their governors. Which almost all states here should be doing too. The federal government is a level beyond and more superfluous. For most Americans requiring more than a thousand miles travel just to reach DC. That’s even assuming who they want is even in DC at the time.
Then let’s not kid ourselves. Even if everyone on the east coast decided on the spur of the moment to march on DC and go after all republicans. It’s not like it was in the 18th century where they would have had to have tried to plot a path out of the region through all the revolting peasants. They will just airlift out and be hundreds or thousands of miles away. Perhaps even in another country within an hour or two. It would take the people immediately around them all turning on them suddenly to actually stand a chance of succeeding.
Even if everyone in their immediate vicinity turned on them. Slaughtering Trump his sons their wives their kids etc etc etc etc. It wouldn’t even begin to actually address any real problems. It would be cathartic and some form of late justice at the very least. But not a solution.
The only effective thing to do, is for states and more importantly cities and communities. To deny the larger state their larder and extortion. Taking stolen wealth back from the wealthy and oligarchs. Keeping and investing those resources back in the communities. The bigger state will absolutely mobilize and attack. And every time they do it will weaken them and their support. But realistically it’s the only way. Real change has to start at the bottom.
