I can't by any means say I'm immune to propaganda, but I've been thinking along these lines since 2016 (when I wasn't even on social media or reading the news), so it'd have to have been some pretty pervasive, in-person propaganda.

I don't think a full-scale revolution against our current government could even possibly succeed by sheer military strength; not unless the bulk of the military defected to the revolutionaries' side. But, I do think an Ireland-style revolution (guerilla warfare targeting strategic government officials) would be plausible, albeit far from good. It would cause substantial upheaval and likely wouldn't overthrow the government, but it may force their hand a bit if it happened.

Again, I wouldn't personally condone or participate in something like that unless I had nothing to lose, because of course it would be a suicide mission, but I do worry that more and more Americans are left with nothing to lose by the day. I'm not saying a revolution should happen, or that it would somehow be a good thing, but the tensions do make it feel like it might happen, especially if the economy crashes.
