This presumes a minority suppressing a majority. The situation in China is a majority suppressing a minority. What would that look like in the US? I would assume it’d involve popular and congressional consent to use SLBM decapitation strikes against “rebel” leaders. No need to advance into contested territories.

This pretty much already happens but the police are used instead. They just shoot a few protestors and the media frames it as "they were resisting".
Look at how fast "good guys with guns fighting the government" got shut down when the BPP started carrying.
