People dumb enough to think a bunch of "freedom fighters" could hold off the best military on Earth (with an authoritarian government controlling it - as that's how their power fantasy works) are also too dumb to be convinced otherwise. As I've said before "better land the drones and park the tanks! They've got AR-15s and a can-do attitude!" As long as the "bread and circuses" remain in place, nobody would care and it'd just be a few hundred rednecks getting blown up.

The romanticized version of the war of independence has emboldened people. They neglect to factor in the massive amount of French support and that the British were busy fighting battles elsewhere that they felt were more strategically important.
