I'm not sure what a revolution would look like nor do I know what the odds of success would be or even how to define success. As a 30 minute introductory to this post, maybe one or two of you might read this article as food for thought. It may be over the top, but even so, there's some meat there.

But I'll give my perspective of the current reality in America. My perspective differs from most on this board, though some of you have migrated toward my viewpoint over time.
Here's where we are.
The centers of power (Intel Agencies, State Department, Justice Department, Pentagon, Federal Reserve, Big Pharma, Social Media - Google, Facebook, Twitter , Major Network Media, multi-national corporations, Higher Education Administrations etc.) control the election processes and/or basically write and execute policy.
1. Free market capitalism has transitioned over the past few decades to the point where it is now a centrally managed, financialized economy that is detached from market principles.
2. Socialism/marxism has simultaneously captured university departments and indoctrinated a top down ideology featuring white guilt, identity politics, restriction on speech, equality of result rather than equality of opportunity and so on.
3. The Department of Justice, State Department, Intel Agencies make and carry out decisions independent and contrary to the policy of the President when they deem fit. In fact, some of these entities actually colluded to have the President removed from office.
4. The nation's debt is protected by perpetual debt monetization by the Federal Reserve.
5. Big Pharma and medical costs are draining citizens of capital and leading to many bankruptcies.
6. Half the public believes the election was rigged.
And there is much more.
In my opinion, the system has degraded to the degree it cannot be reformed. Writing your Congressmen isn't an option especially now (if it ever has been). Elections at the national level no longer are significant as neither side will except the result, and even if they did, the government is systemically rotten That being the case, citizens must either passively except further decay and erosion of rights or actively seek change outside of the electoral process. But that would be ugly and most likely substantial loss of life. What are options to bring about change?
Individuals or militias would have to come up with goals to achieve change. Maybe this would mean thousands of people storming media HQs, the Department of Justice, and/or the Federal Reserve. This is of course illegal and would be met with force. If the numbers were large enough, it would require the military to put down such a rebellion. What would the military do? How would the soldiers react?
Probably it won't come to this. But if the population won't accept the status quo, what's the way out?
