If your country was suddenly taken over by a dictator would you....

Cromwell gained the support of the army, as in every coup is essential to success. He was a visonary, but also a realist.
Army wages were raised and their power increased too.
Not bad for a farmer.

After Cromwell, a military dictatorship was installed in the English possesions Netherlands, slaughtering many people until Netherlands became independent.

S!

I live in south eastern PA.,U.S.A.
If a foriegn power where to invade my country my brother and I would take our family members(those that wanted to resist) and all our guns(which is considerable )and head for the Appalacian Mts.
We would fight the oppressors every time we saw them.
The partisan activity in these mts. would be overwhelming to any invader of the U.S.

You see we are given the right to own firearms for just this pourpose--to expell foriegn or domestic tyrants from OUR land.The partisan activity in France or Yugoslavia or Russia during WW2 would not even compare to what our civilian soldiers would do to an invader.

S!--long live the second ammendment

I chose the Banana option, since the other options was not options I would choose...

If it was taken over by a dictator, not much would happen anyway, since it already feels like that (ok, maybe not that much as a Dictator-ship, but still bad enough for me)... I would defently not gather some people, to fight, to get our old country back... the Americans should do the fighting, and then turn this country into Democracy instead of Monarchy (what it is not :doitnot!: )

[Wernazuma III]

Does anyone else miss the "grap everything within reach, take the family and get the hell out of the country"-option.
I'd like to say I'd gather some people or join some already existing opposition, yet I fear I'm not brave enough for this...

[Dis]

I would go on like usual and go about my life *****ing about the party leadership as usual.

[Bosh]

I'd be one of those idiot barricade-building college students who'd get mowed down when the army showed up.

[Spiffor]

I am honest enough to say my survival is what I value the most. I wonder how many of the "resisting" voters will actually resist and risk getting killed if it happens to them. There's a reason dictatorships exist, and that's the instinctical fear of being killed.

[Az]

It depends on the sircumstances.

My replies could vary from fighting to fleeing to apathy, to assistance to the dictator.

Take yer cartridge and powder factories with you.

I'd become a criminal overlord.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

those with too much to lose would not fight. and the 60% of americans who are overweight couldnt cut it either.

[Plan Austral]

Rednecks are healthy and they know how to use weapons, if America is invaded, they are the only hope.

[Bosh]

Yeah but the Midwest isn't exactly good territory for guerilla warfare, any hypothetical invader would probably have more of a problems with inner cities.

[Az]

Boshko: aren't there Rednecks in the Rockies as well?

[SlowwHand]

I pity the fool that tries to invade Texas.
