1967 is a long way off from where we are now with a live camera feed in everyone's pocket. That happened in a time where we were fresh out of segregation and most people read it as a "black problem" and moved on. While we still have a lot of division today, it's not the same. We have growing momentum already with massive marches and protests, and division already happening within the government and administration.
The events where the US government has shot down protestors has paved the way for where we are now, those were large black marks on history that the government does not want to repeat, the powers that be are terrified of someone broadcasting a similar event. The desire to preserve the status-quo comes from a much higher power, the now-metastasized force of corporate power that wants people divided enough to not band together, but not so much that the system breaks and people stop buying shit.
Otherwise, they would have done it already. They want to so badly, they just want it to be a perfect situation where it appears like some organized antifa or hispanic terrorist group appear like organized insurgents, and so far that hasn't happened because those kinds of groups don't actually exist and we're not in a war with insurgents.
All that said, I do not think our answer is going to be any kind of armed assault on DC. There will be no charismatic leader that waves the flag of revolution, we will not have that storybook ending. It's the fantasy of children who can't imagine or grasp the complexity and actual systemic challenge of changing the course of an entire nation with hundreds of millions of people.
Even if we succeeded, we would still have to live next to the millions of people who didn't want us to do a coup, and so far I haven't met a single progressive/leftist who has an answer for what to do about that.
That's what I am saying, and I am speaking from very much a NOT armchair place on this, I've done my time on asphalt. And you can do community organizing from your chair. But again, it takes discomfort, exposure to condemnation from people who don't agree with your takes, people paid to squash messaging from anyone revealing dark stains on a local candidates career and so on.
