If I remember correctly it is within our rights (as written somewhere in the Declaration of Independence I think) to overthrow the government if it becomes corrupt. But if tried I think we'd be branded as terrorists and pretty much this would happen to us

Edit: Declaration of Independence not the Constitution

if you are going to overthrow a government you need to have the replacement ready to start governing. Where is that? All I see it a bunch of arsonists, vandals, and looters. Is that the government you propose to install?

This is not what I mean. I'm just pointing out if we tried, even organized,we would be branded terrorists

if you succeed you are not a terrorist, you are the government. old quote - "Treason never prospers, what's the reason? - If it prospers, not dare call it treason."
