I think you are missing what I am saying. I am talking about a hypothetical situation. I am not calling on people to start an uprising.
I am asking the same question you just did. What is the big picture? What would a violent uprising look like? Is it worth it?
What would it take? Is it worth leaving your family and possibly not returning?
I am asking "IF" it came to it.
And again, not talking about political opinions here or red vs blue. I'm talking about something bigger that I'm seeing more and more evidence of.
There is a lot packed in there. Is there evidence of the things you say you see evidence of, or just supposition and innuendo? I would argue there is an effort to divide us, and that has gone along really well these last couple 10 years or so. It isn't a division that is new to human history, but it is a concerted effort to divide and make us covet, despise, hate, all in an effort to take our eyes off the One who is worthy of our attention, It has worked well.
What would it take to have an uprising? Subversion of the constitution to the point the system would be unfixable. This could include things like allowing illegals to vote in our elections by law, removing portions of the BoR, uncontrolled inflation and monetary devaluation, these kinds of things are policy issues that can't be fixable, and would require the citizens to step up and effect change.
What would that look like? Most likely similar situation to what we see with BLM and the protests and riots going on these days. I don't see any specific organized move on a city per se, it will be small uprisings all over that will grab attention, make headlines, and effect change. See how it has. Could it involve taking down some buildings, possible. Could it involve occupying some areas, possibly. What I am trying to get at is any action would probably be very similar from a dem viewpoint to what things look like from a white persons view point right now. The best way to effect change with least amount of life loss is mass protesting and small rioting. It grabs attention quickly and if the cause is worthy, effect change quickly. If it doesn't effect change quickly, then it escalates. Looking back at history, neither the revolutionary nor civil wars were started with massive armies marching on the capitals...they were small skirmishes that escalated to more skirmishes that started a war. Make no mistake, people will die, and if the cause is worthy, people will be willing to die for it. That's when you know it is time.
If not enough people are willing to lay down their life for the cause, then you have no movement, and it fades quickly. That is honestly the most likely scenario in the future. Our country has slowly been drifting from its founding principles for a long time, and slowly the drift becomes unnoticeable. Before you know it, the ship is sailing back to port where the dictator lives, and we all think we are in the promised land. Nobody wants a dictator, but since everyone was on the ship for so long and didn't notice the drift, no one is willing to get back on the ship and try again.
That is what we need to fight, and that is through education, not fighting.
