If the US ever came under the rule of socialism or another kind of tyranny, I'd happily welcome any foreign power who came to overthrow them

Isn't that the case though? Where's the separation of powers or the rule of law in the US?

To be clear, I'm not favoring any kind of such action, just holding the honesty of the statement.

Socialism = tyranny? Wow. I guess you prefer the freedom of being bankrupted if you get injured, and getting taken by masked men from an unmarked van if you got some tan on your vacation, and then dropped to El Salvador.

I would choose civil war over being ruled by socialist any it's not close.

Would you elaborate on your definitions for “being ruled” and “socialist”?

Does that mean you would prefer violent rebellion over a United States president with social liberal public policies?

Would you have taken up arms under either of the Roosevelts?

Extremism and violence tend to go hand-in-hand.

Did I say "social democrat" or did I say "socialist"?
