      Like the French Revolution, it takes a lot for a revolt. Ultimately if faces aren’t seen, it forgotten. As for republicans, if they aren’t white faces; it’s forgotten in a day or two.

          Americans have to take on the largest military in the world. Are you selling war planes that you can get to Florida without issue?

            “americans” aren’t a regular army, they’re a dispersed civilian population and the us military historically actually has a lot of trouble with those

              Absolutely. So, your solution is normal Americans declare war and wage irregular asymmetric warfare today. Against what? Our local government buildings? The post office? Commit sabotage against what exactly?

                We are going to find out if we prefer the consequences of revolt or the consequences of not revolting more.
