A buddy of mine was talking to his car mechanic (who lived through the Russian revolution) about this very topic a couple of months ago. My friend mentioned to him that we might end up having a revolution in the United States very soon, to which his mechanic shook his finger at him and replied, you know nothing of revolution or how bad things have to get in order for that to happen.

We're not at the point of revolution yet. Hopefully we can clean up this disaster in the voting booth. But if blood and revolution are what it comes to, then it wouldn't be the first time we've had to rely on bloodshed to put down tyranny in this country.

@Faithless1 Would it be ok with you if I start spreading rhetoric like this to start a rebelion in your country, even when you know that I am not even from there?

Of course,you done it before!

Yes, it could.
No, it won't;
Panem et circenses

Things would have to affect a majority of folks in a most adverse manner. As long as there is an election looming there will be a rebellion at the polls & not on the streets.It took years for the anti war movement to gain enough support to end the Vietnam war & we have been at war in Afghanistan for 16 years. Complacent & obese Americans are not likely to rebel other than at the polls. If there is the coup as many of us fear is occurring, perhaps decades from now a different generation might take up arms. That is what the 2nd Amendment is there for.

Unfortunately, the majority of people are quite content so long as fast food is affordable and there's something to switch the mind off on television.

It looks to me like "rock bottom" for the US population to react to anything as a whole is some unimaginable condition. We're devolving with no end in sight. Idk what it would take.

I don't know, it is a tricky one considering that there are so many weapons in the US.

Yeah, it could happen. Hope it doesn't come to that.

No need to rebel in the USA while we have peaceful semi-honest elections every 4 years. The people in Venezuela need to rebel but they don't have any weapons to rebel with. Contrary to myth, revolutions don't start out of despair but rather out of hope.
