Ultimately you're right. People who spend their lives studying such things have determined we'll never have a real revolt/revolution/etc. in this nation. We're missing a critical element.

20-somethings. Once you get old enough, you get tied down to things like jobs and spouses and children, and aren't willing to leave them all behind to fight. To have a real revolution, you need to get the people who aren't tied down by any of that to join your cause.

So we're dependent on Millennials, or whatever it is that comes after them, to provide the manpower for the fight. Somehow I don't see that happening.
