Won't happen in the United States. We're headed hard in the opposite direction. And the changes taking place right now will effectively make it impossible going forward.
Buy a gun. Protect yourself. Things are about to get real dark. There are about to be a lot more desperate people in this society.
I think you're right about where the US is headed, but only idiots think having guns will save them from thugs with more guns, let alone a squad of well trained soldiers.
Plenty of resistance movements caused problems for the nazis. You can't fight them in an open battlefield but you can assassinate leaders. They didn't manage to kill Hitler but some others were assassinated. Heydrich for example.
Probably a bigger point is that you can't beat fascism with an individualistic approach to resistance.
Unfortunately most modern Americans couldn't resistance-movement their way out of a Walmart, and would report anything they thought might be putting them in personal danger.
The trick is to be rich enough that you can hire security squads with helicopters and armored vehicles. The only reason to have a gun in that situation is to take pot shots at the plutocrats.
