Insurgency in Politics

I read a survey of a French officer's strategic
learnings from Indochina. Insurgency is not an open war.

Politics in the USA & Canada might learn from the same rubric

Intelligence about the physical geography & sociology is the insurgence's advantage. Attack it.

The insurgent's cause will through propaganda change as expedient. Do not encounter on his basis.

Create a grid of the territory & treat each zone differently.

Strive for law & order & a fair government. Propaganda that the insurgent is
blocking this.
Use force where necessary. You will be blamed
for incidental damage. Pay for it without red tape.
Have the patience & determination to take time. The insurgent can take forever.
When the insurgent rests to change tactics or move assets, attack.
He has not surrendered; he is only resting.

Most of the above would apply for example in Canada
to the imminent federal election, & the current preparation period. The lessons though apply
to all three
