    I’ve seen this same argument spouted over and over online. People like you apparently think that there are enough drones, drone operators, and assorted missiles to target every person who could dare resist. It shows a general misunderstanding of the concept of drones and their usage. Also if the US Military began launching missiles at protest groups then shit would be way beyond hitting the fan, that would be overt war on our own country.

    Each drone mission requires quite a bit of careful planning and skilled operators. The USA had somewhere in the neighborhood of 11k drones held by the military as of 2023 reports. A large portion of those are likely deployed abroad, along with their pilots.

    Basically the situation seems to be quite different in reality than the spooky idea that magical drones can instantly show up anywhere to kill anyone.
