    They won’t. At least, not in significant enough numbers to matter. It’s easy to type that, but quite another thing if it’s your life and livelihood on the line.

    Historically, revolutions don’t happen without someone pretty organised and powerful to arrange them, like the Jacobins. And even then they usually fail.

        Yeah and that “nothing happened” was because the fucking President organized it and pardoned everyone. Once again, the already powerful tend to prop up revolutions. None of the powerful here will benefit from us having a revolution unless it didnt actually change anything. No one is coming to end this. Americans better band together and figure out what they can do with some string and a pack of matches.

        It was on behalf of the President and his party, and it was never anywhere close to seriously threatening government power. A few individual politicians, maybe.

        I guess, what’s your point?
