Ahh, making it personal. Classy discussion, u/downvote_fairy... Surely we can be better than that, no?
If it does happen it will be because people have had enough.
The problem is we may have convinced ourselves that 1776 only works "one way". It's possible there are shill Lefties who will likewise rally to the 1776 call. Not because they've somehow switched over to the MAGA movement, but because they've convinced themselves THEY are the good guys stamping out evil nazis.
Even in my red state, it's surprising how many liberals are also loaded to bear. With MIL training and experience.
So am I scared?
Ehh, that's a weird word... I'm prepared. But living in a warzone is not something anyone should wish upon their homeland. And any combat veteran who says he never feared for his life or his loved ones is a damn liar. This has nothing to do with ego. True violence and its aftermath are cold and uncaring, not something to be sought and esteemed. Especially upon innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
I think there are no innocent bystanders at this point. Those who ignore it are guilty.
Courage is not a lack of fear, it is taking decisive action right in the face of fear. The globohomo's biggest mistake has been causing so many conservatives to no longer be comfortably lulled asleep, but to have nothing left to lose, and everything to fight for.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your point here, I think the issue is more that the 1776 option can only be used once before everything changes and there is no turning back. It's a doomsday provision, not a form of protest.

No turning back = Rubicon Don. Will he assume his final form? We all want to avoid that, but death is still preferable to Marxism.
I don't plan on dying fighting Marxists, I plan on Marxists dying while fighting me (in Minecraft). ;)
No motherfucker's been able to kill me yet, and that's not for a lack of trying!
I'm a commie?
