Why? Not that it is going to happen, but why? Who wins? Certainly not the side you want, unless you want total control given to the government. The freedom loving side? Not going to happen because most people are just talk. When the SHTF, they are the first to inform on their neighbors.
This country is full of fat, lazy, happy, stupid, crazy, and don't give a rat's ass people. That is proven every time we have an election. We can't get 50% voter turn out, and you think that more than that would put their asses on the line?
Do you think that the military would side with the 'revolution'? Don't bet on it. They have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Revolution or insurrection is not part of that document.
Do you think our enemies, and they do exist, would not take advantage of the situation? Do you think that our economy would withstand the ramifications of the country being thrown into that chaos? Are you prepared to shoot your neighbor, your mayor, your police chief, or the poor PFC that is standing on the corner?
Hate to tell you but the 'revolution' has already happened. It was effected without a shot being fired. The people were given the choice, self reliance and freedom or government handouts and control. Guess which one they picked?
