The division of power between the people and the ruling class has never been this far out of balance in all of history. A couple hundred years ago, the people and the government came to the battlegrounds with the same firepower. It was a matter of who had the most muskets, swords, and bodies to throw at the enemy. Nowadays that is all done for. You're not going to find the people's army with RF controlled smart ammunition, f22 raptors, spy satellites, and the ability to tap the entire communications network, etc etc.
The same technology that is blowing up little brown kids all over the world, works just as well for blowing up domestic citizens on their home soil if need be...
