The public in this country is not going to stop posting furiously on the internet about the government long enough to actually revolt. Raging about <insert societal/governmental issue here, and yes that includes leftist ones here> on the internet with a cold beer right next to you is way more fun than actually getting shot at, and there is no problem in this country even remotely approaching the severity needed to spark revolt.

Even more unfortunate is this: so long as they keep failing, they'll keep producing more stinky hippie crotch spawn, bleeding heart Neil Young songs, and swing votes. Pulling out is better than the alternative

It would have to depend on the scope of what you mean by a "revolt". Civilian groups haven't really fared well against military forces in U.S. history. See. e.g. Whisky rebellion, Blair Mountain, Veteran's Bonus March.... Even an armed "trained" militia group of racists/Christian extremists/Mormons/Moonies, whatever, would likely fare little better given the complete lack of any air support, or weaponry beyond AR-15s and pipe bombs. Local communities usually don't tolerate extremist assholes causing trouble in the neighborhood, so the chances of a prolonged insurgency from a small group on U.S. soil would be remote at best. So if it's a small group, they would all be arrested, dead, or in hiding within weeks, if not less. If the cause is a popular one with widespread support, then the result would be substantially worse. Most Americans have a strong sense of right and wrong and justice and patriotism extends further than just waving a flag. If the issue is something along the lines of the president suspending congress and taking a third term, one could expect a large armed populace quickly willing to disrupt federal government activities and seize armaments, not to mention expecting large swatches of the military and associated equipment to defect to the rebel cause leading to a prolonged civil conflict between rebels and pro-government forces. The Syrian conflict done large is a good example of what would be expected if there was an open revolt, but in this case it would be self sustaining as there really isn't a third party providing arms to both sides.

I'm a proud descendant of John Brown and even I think he was a terrorist, you'd need a pretty compelling situation to see a widespread, open revolt in this country.

See. e.g. Whisky rebellion, Blair Mountain, Veteran's Bonus March.... Similar kind of thing in the 1850s-1860s, which saw the collapse of the Whigs and the Radical Republicans taking their place, and the Democrats snapping apart along sectional lines then civil war. France invades Mexico. Austria and Prussia go to war. There's the wars of Italian unification etc. etc. etc. The 1960s also saw major turmoil in the Western world. (France practically had a coup d'etat by de Gaulle. The Troubles kicked off.) In America there were political assassinations, sniper ambushes on cops, riots in 100 cities. The Democrats went through the wringer as a political coalition but came out the other side in one piece. But had there been a violent rupture it could have been worse. Though I don't really see anything like that happening now.

Civil unrest is one thing and we've had some of that (like in Ferguson and Baltimore) which could keep boiling or even accelerate -- don't count it out! That's not war, though. Civil wars require organization and, more importantly, money. The Civil War saw plantation owners, effectively billionaires of their time, hiring enough soldiers to outfit their own brigades + equipment, uniforms and weapons and then becoming "colonels" and leading them into battle. In the north, it was rich industrialists who had the right political connections to buy themselves a general's rank. Militias today don't have any money. It involved a lot of rich and powerful people deciding to throw in. Right now the Democrats and Republicans are the vehicles for those rich people to get their way and they like it that way. Really it'd be like if Silicon Valley billionaires and the Walton Family kickstarted armed factions and began fighting each other, while the political parties implode and reconfigure into something else.

Terrorists killed 3,000 people in a Hollywood style attack, and then the government stripped rights and embarked on a war based on false pretenses complete with open torture of people and an almost total economic collapse and most people continued watching reality TV and going to the mall. It'd have to be some biblical poo poo to get Americans in the streets in numbers that are relevant.

Edit: I also forgot political disorder among the two parties. But we don't have that really. We have racial tension (polling suggests Americans have reverted basically within the past year to where they were before 2008 in terms of how dismally they view race relations). We have scattered white terror and #blacklivesmatter succeeded in burning up one neighborhood in Baltimore for one evening. And now that hashtag is getting co-opted by the Democrats for Hill's re-election campaign. Business as usual. BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Jul 29, 2015 |

True enough, I'm just making the point that Americans can look at a lot of chaos at home and abroad and weather it due to our high standards of living. Actually, even better than race, just wait a few years until the middle class is completely broken and the divide is complete between rich and poor, then we're gonna see some shenanigans.

Wealth inequality is, so far, kind of a boiling frog situation.

The problem is going to come about when another 2008 happens because a pile of rich fuckers wanted to burn the country a little bit more to loot the ashes only this time it doesn't just cause house prices to change a bit, it starts to gently caress with stuff like food prices. When lots and lots of people suddenly can't feed their kids all at the same time and there's a clear "this poo poo is why" event like the bank bailouts at the same time then that boiling frog is going to turn out to be a pile of kindling waiting to catch fire.
