There Will Be No Second American Revolution: The Futility of an Armed Revolt
Sadly, I cannot substantially disagree.

1776
Civil War
Progressive Usurption
No coups
No counter revolutions so far.
No fourth revolutions.
And to what do ascribe this fierce fighting spirit and mastery of guerrilla tactics?
Well, if THAT is the case, then why are the global elites doing their damndest to disarm We The American People? Does anyone recall how the First American Revolution began? A bunch of farmers with fowling pieces and woodsmen with Kentucky rifles turned out to stop a few regiments of Redcoats from seizing a stock of arms and powder at Lexington and Concord?
They did not try to fight the British regulars in stand-up formations; instead, they ambushed them, firing from behind rocks, trees, and walls, using hit-ran-run attacks that were called “partisan tactics” at the time, and would now be referred to as guerrilla warfare.
As a British Army after-action report phrased it “By this time the Country took y Alarm and went immediately I Arms, and we were thus harassed from behind rocks, tree, wall, stone hedges, and we were unable to meet a Man other than behind a rock, tree, stone wall, ect., who immediately gave his fire and off he went.”
Eventually, the Continentals became trained and somewhat equipped enough by France so that they could meet the Brits on conventional fields of battle, but until then they had to resort to guerrilla warfare and keep the enemy off-balance until they could fight—and WIN—conventional battles.
Unable to win? Maybe not at first—but guerrilla tactics can hurt—and ultimately KILL—regular military formations. I refer to the successful Afghani mujahideen campaigns against the Soviets, among others. True, they got a lot of help from the U.S. and other foreign sources, but it would have been worthless without a fierce fighting spirit that anyone trying to disarm and enslave us will soon discover all too many of us still possess!

Progressive Takeover
No Coups I'm aware of...
Next up to bat is a counter revolution to restore the guaranteed Constitutional Republic. Miinimal force required, no damage to infrastructure, business as usual. business and government and schools do not shut down.
Legal, authortized, required.
Magnus Frater Spectat Te.
50 50 they will or they won't. Fairy tails won't count. Nor will you.
Are you an active duty, reserve duty, former or retired member? I thought not. Worry about you. You can't spell 'too.' And Tom Cruise is fiction.
We've had three revolutions. 1776, Civil War, Progressives. This last one set up the First Counter Revolution. Legal, Required, A 24 hour exercise at worst. Probably the oldest standing operational procedure in the nation. No tanks in the street, all calm and peaceful and follows the Constitution implicitly. I would think that after 14 or 15 months someone would have paid attention.
';;;to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and Domestic.'
Why do you think this administration called active, reserve, retired and former members of the military the greatest danger this administration faces. Legal, required, completely constitutional and no one to stop them. Ain't it grand now if only they would remember their oath. Odds of it haippening? 50 50 They will or they won't.
But remember. It isn't for you. Their oath isn't to those who cry and whine about being forced to choose evil. You don't coumt as well you shouldn't. You aren't you weren't worth the effort. You were found wanting.
Nope it isn't for people or citizens or the country - none of that. Their oath was to the Constitution. You got and will an almost free ride.
Question is once they uphold their oath of office why should they give it back to those who stood by doing nothing but accepting evil. Give it back to you? Do you think you are worth it?
If they do save you from Trump or Hillary that's a side issue. You will come under a program known as Educating Citizens in their Rights and Responsibilities .
The funny part is it will bve hardly noticed. No tanks no starvation. Little or no resistance. Perhaps a few executions scarcely noticed. No unapproved newspaper or tv reports. Maybe just a letter in the mail.
Dear SoandSo. Your friends and neighbors have selected you for Citizenship Training. Report to Re-Education Camp. Successful graduates will .... Attendance is mandatory. If iyou don't show up? No sweat the offer is one time only. Go back to work. just like you do every day. Failing in your responsibility does not earn citizenship. Try to register to vote? Sorry Sir, Sorry Ma'am.
Why not? You think they were going to just give it back? Be like handing a twinkie to a ding dong.
I anticipate that "shrugging" will happen wherever such preposterous laws are attempted. Once the effectiveness of defying a government with an inflated sense of self importance becomes more publicly known, the practice will spread until the imperious government administration we all resent will collapse, to be replaced by a more modest form of structure.
Revolution, but with a whimper, rather than a bang. Shrugging in place makes it unnecessary to find a Gulch.
I hear the whine, "Why can't we all just get along?"
The answer? Because we are humans. Our knowledge and science has far outstripped our ability to use our most powerful ability for peace, rationality. We are a young race. As cosmic time goes, we are not even a blip on the time scale as homo sapiens. So far, as a race, we are not mature enough to adopt a rational philosophy which will keep us from one another's throats.
For longevity, so far, the big lizards make us look like beginners. Which, come to think of it, we are. The motto, "ad astra per aspera" Through hardship to the stars, illustrates that we haven't gotten through the hardship part. maybe 100 years from now. Or 500, or 1,000. We'd still be but a blip on the time scale.
