The No Kings protests demonstrated, if literally nothing else, that record-breaking groups of people across the country can remain mostly peaceful with extremely high underlying emotions churning.

This administration will be the downfall of the system and people will barely have to lift a finger. When the US economy inevitably crashes, people's comfort will be in jeopardy - mass bloodshed will not restore that. This isn't the 1800s, we literally are too numerous and our systems are too fragile to support and sustain a massive, drawn-out civil war.

The head of the snake is very difficult to remove in the US because we have extensive, and very clearly spelled out succession laws, and the people next in line are just terrible.

Under current law, you would need to kill 22 people before replacements can be appointed. Possibly less if some of them are not constitutionally eligible to be president; but if it ever got to that point, I suspect we would ignore that provision.

Pulling this off is made even more difficult by both the heightened security given to everyone in the line of succession; and the fact that under our continuity of government plans, those people are deliberately never all in the same place at the same time.

Anything that could accomplish a full decapitation strike would likely require marshall law anyway, and would likely make the conditions for an election difficult.
