26. Probably only 10% of them will act out, but ... what a 10%

Americans do understand:

"She's guilty of a very very serious crime. She should never have been
allowed to run." False criminalization as new birtherism.

I've feared this for some time, localized insurrections are possible

Liberals called GWB a usurper, but were never armed. These Trump
guys are locked and loaded

But seriously, revolution? All revolutions, as studied originally by Crane
Brinton's Anatomy of Revolution, require access, control of the capital
city, and the breakdown of law and order. Our professional military,
our national guard, our NSA not obeying orders?? Absolutely not realistic,
a complete no-go, not going to happen.
