Unfortunately, last time the people revolted, the gov only had muskets and heavy canons. This time around, the gov can assassinate you from high altitude with drones, missiles…and the gov forces have firepower that far exceeds what the population could fight against.
Good point. The English civil war and the French revolution both went the way they did because the ‘rebels’ had armies which equalled or exceeded those of the government. Same with the other regicide that comes to mind, Nicholas II of Russia in 1918. So much depends on whether the military remains loyal.
