Take note that the police are legit frightened by armed responses and militancy. I feel that if any actually sponsored leftist revolutionary front were to occur here they would likely easily hobble police responses (then the national guard would come in and you'd get northern Ireland with checkpoints and controlled movement but even that would likely fuck up things even worse). Overall I just feel the US is actually very internally fragile once that bridge has been crossed (imagine Russia and China just throwing money and arms to every single revolutionary and secessionist oriented group you could imagine.
A leftist insurgency under normal circumstances, with roads and electric and water grids intact and farms shipping out corn and soy, would be crushed.
However, under unusual circumstances that favored integration, redundancy, inclusivity, and local resilience... if a bunch of stuff were to collapse by an act of God, we'd mostly just have to survive on our own and defend our permaculture communes.
