What is your breaking point for a Revolution?

Just read a frenzied Op-Ed from the NYT editorial board pushing the outrageous "Trump is a Russian agent conspiracy." If they actually believed that an agent from a hostile power has taken over our government, shouldn't they be demanding that people rise up and overthrow the government by force? Is that even a question? The only conclusions that I can draw are that they don't believe their own claims or they are willing to passively resist a hostile takeover from a foreign power. Either conclusion shows how pathetic these people are.

I would not be surprised if they want law abiding citizens to take the law into it's own hands , so they can do more control with the Patriot Act and call us Terrorist . Which seems to fit in their minds .

I think we are nearing the yellow shirt movement on 2A. I dont think it's going to be quite as civil as what's going on in France.

Best thing to do is never talk about breaking point on any forum and what you would do in joke form or in reality . Because a penalty "FLAG" will be thrown on you .

Year 2023. Hogan is president, Frosh is governor, Kavanaugh is chief justice. SCOTUS (6-3) nullifies MD concealed carry law without any stay making MD constitutional carry and Frosh orders MSP to arrest all carriers (open and concealed) who do not have permits, Hogan sits on his hands.

A revolution simply won't happen. This thread is partial proof, because everybody's yardstick is different. Without a great mass of people all believing the same thing, those who would start a revolution are simply outliers and weirdos.

I am sure that some if the mass shooters believed they were revolutionary, or at the very least righteous. Not that I am defending their actions, I'm not, but the only difference between a revolutionary and a crackpot is how many other people believe the same thing.

Considering the standard of living here is so high, and so many of us have so much to lose, a revolution won't happen. Most of us own houses, cars, have jobs, and have goals. In every revolution, there have to be enough people who are willing to sacrifice some or all of those things, as well as their lives, for the cause.

So wishful thinking, but sorry, not gonna happen. (What will happen is the continual erosion of our rights and the largesse of law to the point that the Bill of Rights becomes a brand name instead of a guarantee, and we all live in fear of breaking the law but it will be impossible not to. )

Revolution will happen when the beer runs out. Until then, poke the libs in the eye with a sharp stick.

I would tend to agree with you and I believe that the Bundy's (with their stand off at the Fed building)where trying to kick start some sort of revolution but didn't have enough followers of their cause. It will take a lot more people loosing a lot more of their rights, property and control from the government to make a revolution a reality.
