I would think it would be obvious but the answer is numbers and guns. A corrupt government would be unable to fight against 10s of millions of armed militants.
Although your question was “How would we fight” and although many Americans like to cosplay as well-armed superheros, there will never be a number of citizens large enough to risk their lives, safety and comfort for a greater good to achieve a successful uprising. The way “we would fight” would be sharing videos somebody else made on social networks, impotently arguing in comment sections and finding echo chambers to talk to like-minded individuals about how terrible the other half of America is.
The bottom part of your comment is what we already do. It’s not really helping anyone else out, unless it’s to basically spread awareness to get “the other half” of the country riled up too.
I think the military oath, “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” would be widely interpreted so that a lot of the internal branches of the military would be divided on if he’s an actual threat.
Personally, I think we’re to that point now where he basically does whatever he wants without proper approvals, and then no repercussions either; so it’s reinforcing the ability to do so and shows how powerless/spineless the rest of the gov is.

While I agree with your entire sentiment,
I would add “less openly but equally corrupt” to your summation.
