You literally have a large percentage of your population who carry guns and prepare for civil war because you don't trust your government or police. Yet here we are, with every sign an indication that exactly what these people have prepared for is actually happening and... where are they?
We're seeing lots of peaceful protests, but where are the nutters?
There are two reasons:

- A lot of them are MAGA, and true MAGA loves fascism, so they have no reason to rebel against what they love
The problem is that the nutjobs fully trust the misinformation and right-wing propaganda.
