not that this would ever happen in the US (for a variety of reasons), but a widespread, decentralized resistance would be immensely difficult for the US military and local authorities to deal with in the mid and long term. Even if they were going to use bombs an american citizens (and they have before), it would cow many but most people are collaborators anyway.

It would create new fighters every day, soldiers seeing their homes under fire, their people being oppressed. I can't say the same for the cops, though many are already members of militias, they tend to stick with their own and their authority. Local authorities have limited resources even if they're militarized.

If you had LA riots in multiple cities with people in towns around the US deciding to resist in a multitude of easy ways that don't necessarily involve shooting people, local forces would be hard-pressed to deal and the military can do a swift crack down but eventually their resources, including human resources, will be strained.

It's happened in multiple countries and they beat the US whether the US admits or not.
