Those with a vested interest in the status quo have made it impossible to change things. We should all tear up our constitutions and re-write them as appropriate for our times.
I think death by apathy is as likely as a successful revolution in 1st world countries.
If the population is unhappy, just put on another sport grand final or royal wedding, all will be forgotten.

It does seem as this is our only option. But, just as in the Revolutionary War, that "violent" opposition should be led by men and women of sober reasoning, brilliance, and strong disagreements with each other.

As an ex-military contractor who was involved in DoD strategic planning exercises, I was always fascinated with "Jane's" annual evaluation of the world's military strengths.
Last time I was privy to such information (5+ years ago), the civilian population of the United States was evaluated as the 8th best armed army in the world. This included crew served weapons such as heavy machine guns and artillery. Additionally, it was listed as the 17th best armed air force. Think about that when discussing revolution.

Sounds like a President Harry S. Truman quote

I have been thinking that for some time. Yet the highly armed are the supporters of this fascist group. I believe this is very dangerous. Especially if an opposition party doesn't start getting serious about the midterm.
