IFF (if and only if) we allow things to degrade into actual skirmishes and battles the technological advantage would insure a quick win for the government.
I *sense* (anecdotal, obviously) it would take 95 percent to force government back into its bottle.
I donÂ’t see that happening - but I donÂ’t have perfect vision so take it for what itÂ’s worth. (IÂ’d guesstimate 2 cents).

The government doesnÂ’t have cyborgs or robots to fight people, they just have people.
People on both “sides” who would use the technology you speak of that they control to fight the other side.
Until we get to the point of cyborgs and AI robots doing the governments bidding, you need only the will and enough people- and you win.
The only problem I could see is if one of the sides decided to get another country involved, who would send their military here to fight the other side. Then you would need the numbers youÂ’re speaking of- 95%.

TheyÂ’d be facing veterans with knowledge of tactics and warfare.
Active duty would grab shit on the way out the door.
They would have an easy time training and transitioning hunters with intimate knowledge of the lands in this county and a lifetime of experiencein in harsh conditions tracking and killing animals
TheyÂ’d be facing much more than our entire armed forces could handle.
