What would cause you to revolt? Taking away your guns? Or making you register them?
Telling you that there would be no more medicare, medicaid or social securty?
Suspending the right to a fair trial? Or even a trial at all?
Watching US citizens being assassinated with no trial in a foreign country?
Hearing that a drone from your country killed many innocent civilians?
Watching your country's soldiers get slaughtered and maimed in horrifying battles over seas?
Knowing that your government was spying on you for "your own protection?"
Watching your government trade guns for drugs and then those guns kill Americans?

What, exactly would be your breaking point? When does it get so bad that you say, "I've had enough."

There is no plan. There is just simply different stages of anarchy. There is no plan. It's semi-controlled anarchy.
Tell it like it is...Joker.

Anybody who believes they already have an answer to that question will never revolt. And anybody who has a single red line as an answer is too stupid to worry about.

If any of that was going to cause a real revolt we would have been in a civil war for the last 12 years.

My line in the sand is when I'm no longer able to provide food, shelter or safety for my family or myself without breaking some new law put in place by those who are wealthy enough to not deal with the consequences of the legislation they create.

One line red answer 'might be', if Obama pulls a stunt that has him as puppet king after Jan 2017. Or some BS martial law which does the same. he gets 2 terms and only 2 terms by the LAW. If he changes the LAW that will remain to be seen.

There 'could' be many other notions. Some notions in the OP's post maybe, maybe not. In line one taking the guns away is just silly tawkin'.....

Won't happen Obama will leave when his term is up.

He himself can't change the law.

Rainbow Sherbert stops being made, or slushies are outlawed !

Another possible thing, eminent domain where they kick me out of my place because they want to open the area more for some douche with a new house.
