My guess is that their revolt will be similar as the recent Chinese and Russian ones.

I work for an US company and I got a day off, it is curious, cause Im from Costa Rica, and I belong to the bribri indigenous nation, and we commemorate Pa Bru day, an ancient leader who stopped Spanish incursions to our land in 1710. So I wish, from the deepest of my soul and for my ancestor that you, US fellows, rebel!
It sucks that the USA is associated with the bald eagle because IMO it's still a beautiful bird and it did nothing to deserve the association. And also for me, the fact that they sound like seagulls makes them even more relatable because it has an annoying voice just like me 😆
Ikr, they sound so funny and not at all like the majestic yet hyper masculine beasts they are usually portrayed as.

We need to grow our numbers! The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.
Erica Chenoweth has a very well researched presentation on the success of non-violent resistance overthrowing dictatorships with only 3.5% of the population. I highly recommend it.
Come out today for the Free America protest! We also have the Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17th.

They're finally doing one on a weekday? Excellent. I like the concept of these protests but they seem so trivial when they involve people pretty much just hanging out with signs in front of empty government buildings. Having it on a weekday means disrupting business and work schedules. Don't let them ignore you.

How about a general strike? More than protests but non-violent.
I 100% support a general strike, but (1) I think that's a lot more difficult to organize than revolt, which can be spontaneous, and (2) I don't think a general strike and a revolt are mutually exclusive tactics.

First past the post voting system isn't democratic and can easily be corrupted by Gerrymandering.
I mean yeah, I vibe with this, but did you mean to reply to something else? 😄
No, I meant that revolting against a government without an election system change is replacing one almost dictatorship with another.

I'll believe it when I see it. The Americans seem perfectly content with how things are.
