  10. First, there are two types of democracies: direct democracies (what your "mob rule" is talking about), and representative democracies. We, as well as most of the western world, are functionally a representative democracy, because we the people choose politicians to make decisions for us. Republic means we don't have hereditary leadership. We are both a republic and a representational democracy, as is France. Note that a Republic does NOT require you to have any say. China's a republic too. Second, the military will be given the order to intervene. Participation is not optional. Any rank and file that refuses to follow orders will be put in a cell awaiting court martial, and if they try and desert, the military has a complete record of their home addresses. They will give the order to shoot any mutineers and they will destroy any base they are forced to evacuate. This is not a "you smile and they let you go." Third, your militias will be designated as terrorist organizations and dealt with appropriately if they start causing mass harm. If you try and leave the country, you will be arrested on sight. You will also not be recognized as the legitimate government by the rest of the world if you hold a coup. Fourth, I think you misunderstand something. Conservatives don't control the food supply of the cities. Megacorporations do. They will side with their wallet and stay neutral, and do everything in their power to keep supplies going because they don't, not only will they lose a massive amoutn of money, the banks in those cities will freeze their accounts locking them out of their finances, collect and foreclose any debts, and refuse to ever give a loan again. Fourth: you would not be able to sit back. There are enough liberals outside of cities that you will have to deal with the suburbs and rural liberals. Also, as a reminder, the last time we had a civil war, your rural agricultural advantage was dealt with by General Sherman waltzing through Georgia burning anything he could see to the ground. You do not want total war, because we have the technology to make sure the fires can be seen from space.
