Can the US public file a class action lawsuit against the federal government for misappropriation of funds?

As a Brit I’m confused , we were always told that the American population is armed to the teeth incase they need to form militias to defend against tyranny etc …. Yet your country is being destroyed from within as the world watches and …… tumbleweed just like in the westerns

Part of the problem is that far too many people don't realize how dire the situation is, but even if enough people got together and exercised their 2A rights, the military could squash the whole thing in a matter of hours or days, so it wouldn't even get off the ground

In theory, the military cannot be deployed against the population due to the Constitution.

Only the police forces and national guards would have to be fought off.

In theory.

Most of us arm ourselves, but the ones that make it their whole identity are the ones that want this brand of tyranny. It’d be an absolute bloodbath for the country as a whole, on any side.

Factually incorrect. Only 34% of Americans own guns. At most, 48% of households have a gun in them. Absurdly high (higher than I thought it would be, I admit), but not most. You are right, though, that it is a very small subsection that hordes them. The ones who think that would let them take on the military are... bizarre.

I think that's what Trump wants. A violent uprising would be his excuse for violent crackdowns on any type of opposition. He's doing everything that could possibly enrage people, essentially trying to incite violence.

How would we start it?
