Part of me wishes that this was a true, literal Communist insurgency like the types we saw in Latinoamerica in the 70s.
If it was, those guys on University Avenue in St. Paul would have marched to the State Capitol building a few blocks away, killed all the legislators cowering inside, then set the place on fire. Then it would be to Washington DC, where the barricades around the White House get breached, the Secret Service takes off, Marine One is shot down, and Trump is shot in the head while cowering under a sink like Charlie Manson.
(Keep in mind that I'm not ADVOCATING any of this, just saying that that's what the playbook for Communist guerrillas has been in most places.)
Then we're off to California, where much of the Bay Area is under insurgente control by sunrise today, and London Breed, Libby Schaaf, and Sam Liccardo (SF, Oakland, SJ respectively) flee in helicopters as city hall is trashed and burned. Up the road in Sacramento, Newsom likewise takes off and the State Capitol is trashed. Copy that to Atlanta and a few other places, and suddenly you have much of America's population under insurgente control, no POTUS to take charge, and within a couple days the former govt simply disappears and the new Workers Democratic Republic Of America is declared.
In that circumstance at least we'd be rid of all the politicrooks and the lobbyists and their enablers. Unless we wind up rolling snake eyes and somebody like Stalin or Kim Il Sung winds up at the top, there might be a chance for at least SOME meaningful change. Fidel Castro was evil, but at least he was able to rip down some of old Cuba's caste system. Also, getting rid of the CIA (and the network of imperial military bases) would be a big plus for the rest of the world.
