Hooo, boy, I bet the democrats will try anything short of mass murder to try and prevent that from happening.

If they thought they could get away with it, I have no doubt some Federal-level Democrats would do that too. Gun control itself is a policy that encourages mass shootings, and they support that, so.
It's no coincidence that the vast majority of mass shootings take place in gun-free zones.
Some people believe that Scalia was murdered.
What was the supreme court mulling over when he died?
It would be more that they wanted to open up a slot for Obama to put in a liberal judge.
Some people believe, with just as much proof, that Jade Helm was a dastardly plot to let the US be conquered by a secret UN army. Don't go spreading baseless rumors.

And so we see that any time a democrat gains power, they can jam almost all they want through and it will stick, while republicans have to win every time to maintain anything, and never.sucessfully counterattack.
Virginia gun owners have shown themselves to be completely harmless, and every effort will be made to make sure there is never a republican victory in Virginia again.

Ever heard of Psychohistory? A combination of mathematics, history, current events & sociology(not the BS SJW kind)
Odds are history will and shall repeat
BUT there's the problem of newer technologies and the rare weird individuals that break from the mold to varying degrees....also NOT having a bunch of psychics to mind control people for the greater parts of the plan
I think lots of people will be MAKING guns of their own after this is over, and a bunch of them will ironically be Democrats

Basically, this stuff was doomed to be repeated again and again
New tech is the OCP your democrats never factor in
I'm still not really sure what your point is. New Tech is massively factored into Democrats thought process. They if anything overestimate what technology will let them do, rather than the reverse. And its still not really clear what your actually saying in relation to this point.

I’m saying that the more they make stuff illegal, the more likely people will use new technologies to gain access to stuff illegally
Or even use it to get around to communicating in relative secret
... so? This is like saying the USSR wasn't that bad because the tyranny wasn't total. It seems a pointless point to make.

It’s more that compared to before, tyrants will have a harder time, you may lose this round but you can still come back and screw them over
Though, there’s the problem in that you lose out in-terms of politics due to Democrats being the majority and that may continue decades from
now
You guys who differ can holdout till you can somehow secede
I would say Tyrants have an easier time, not harder. A 100 years ago, it would have been nearly impossible to oppress these people: its too much space, and farmer hill people are hard to oppress. Now, its trivial.

And worst part? Those tyrants have the support of the majority
That said, they will only really take over the moment they get your hearts and minds.....online education and trade schools are an option.....unless they actually make it law that you MUST send your kid to public school if they don’t go to private school

Not really.
If Trump wins re-election he almost certainly appoints one, and likely two, supreme court justices (RBG won't last another four years, Breyer is iffy, Thomas might also leave two or three years from now if Trump is still President). In addition, he will solidify the lower courts.
Whenever the Republicans hold the Senate (which they are naturally advantaged in), they can kill anything that the Democrats try at the federal level and keep the courts from swinging to the progressives.
At the state level, Republicans have the advantage when it comes to state legislatures and governors.
Going forward, Republicans also have the demographic advantage. Progressives have fewer kids, have more abortions, and rely on conversion as opposed to birth to build their political base. The Republicans have more kids, are opposed to abortion, and rely on birth to build their political base.
By 2060 the Mormons are probably going to be the single largest voting bloc in the US.

Then you need to account for what is about to occur. If the Supreme Court ever gets around to squarely facing the standard of scrutiny question for the Second Amendment, gun rights becomes a settled political issue because the gun control crowd can't win on it. Overturning Roe (which has been a fifty year political effort to even make theoretically possible, and still probably won't occur) is far easier than overturning the second amendment being an individual right that has strict scrutiny applied to it would be. Especially when, as soon as SCOTUS decides the scrutiny question, there are going to be hundreds of challenges to gun control regimes in every circuit and state court; it is going to become thoroughly entrenched precedent in literally a handful of years. That removes a major social issue from regular political contention.
Then you have the economic and globalization issues. The US is already going isolationist, which is only going to accelerate. The US is also going to cease to be the consumer market of first and last resort for the rest of the world. Then you have the boomer retirement and what that is going to do for tax bases, government expenses, and capital markets the world over.
The long term trends actually favor the Republicans in the US, not the Democrats.

What we need to do is push the envelope the other direction. The best way to do that isn't actually legislation, but rather putting a prosecutor in place that is willing to charge gun-grabbing as military sabotage. The militia is identified as a branch of the military in the constitution.
There are a lot of things that a president could do as the commander and chief of the militia that would be completely outside the legislature's wheelhouse.
I don't think the isolationism is going to accelerate. This is a result of financial hardship, and outrage. Even if Covid gets bad, it won't bring the outrage against banks that the recession did, because it wasn't the banks fault. I don't expect lasting anti-globalization to last beyond Trump. Fortunately, that also ties in with the desire for socialism further dying after we are out of this financial crisis.
