I think the bottleneck for Christian violence is that it's anti-anarchy. It's absolutely insistent that the state is the instrument for it.
I don't think the spirit of that sentiment is *bad,* but it is a tough sell with how utterly wicked the government has gotten. There's a theoretical escape clause in Romans which lets you define the government as illegitimate and not binding on you because they don't carry out God's justice, but that being used to justify an uprising from a common collective is completely unprecedented historically. If it happens at scale, it will be a Church event on the same level as the Catholic/EO schism, or the reformation. Probably even more significant.
