To put into perspective: South Korea declared Martial Law during the end of 2024 which was short lived as their citizens were awake, not asleep (a similar thing occurred in 1980 that lasted until 1987) so they know what their parents have been through back then not letting it slide in modern times which was met with stiff resistance & protest from Gen Z Koreans.
Their president was impeached after he enacted it as he’s abusing his power via blocking legislators by using both law enforcement and the military averting them from entering their national assembly, including him ordering the arrest of both the judges and supreme court justices whilst illegally declaring martial law (all in which violate their constitution).


It would be even less effective in rural areas where people are spread out and there aren’t enough thugs to round everyone up into a small area.
And everyone has guns. The only upside to that…
Also have several acres behind the house and neighbors that don’t ask too many questions.
