Pre-emptive strike: "yeah, good luck with THAT, buddy..........let's see how you and your little Revolutionaries fare against tanks and Warthogs."
Nobody said it would be easy (or even likely to ever happen). But it's literally our only hope.
Lets see according to US law:

18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government. Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

So again, what were you saying? You are advocating what? We need an actual Revolution is what your said.

Advocating:

a person who speaks or writes in support or defense of a person, cause, etc.

Careful! You better hope the feds are not reading these posts.

Hey, if guys like Bill Ayers can actually ATTEMPT a Revolution and gain fame, fortune and mentorship of a future President, I guess I'm not TOO worried.
And by the way, the feds gather everything that everybody says....didnt you know that?
Now go back to the other sheep and be good.

For those thinking America needs a revolution you should do a little travelling around the world to see just how good America has it,While America has some poverty and social problems this is as good as it gets folks .Most people have job/house/car enjoyable lifestyle yet some would risk turning America into something akin to Syria? for reasons i dont understand.

It is only our prosperity that protects us from civil war. We are one economic shock away from the two radically different sides in this country tearing each other and the nation apart. We have not been this polarized in 150 years and it is extremely dangerous. The fact that our last election came with riots and political violence should scare anyone. We used to brag to the world about our elections and the peaceful transition of power. We are losing that, not long and we may look like Syria or Ukraine.

That's quite different than wanting the entire System gone).
What's a revolution but large-scale assassinations and political purges?

Scalise's shooter tried to kill a politician bc he was sick of his politics. How is a revolution going to unfold differently?

America is not as good as it gets. America fell out of first place sometime the 1970s.

Eh, when the majority of the people you talk to on a day to day basis have had 2 meals in the past 5 days, then you will be close to the point of change that you seem to desire.
