While I don't doubt their fearless spirit, I often wonder how they would fight if placed in our current times.
One could argue the Founding Fathers, and the generations before them, did everything to avoid the fight. Many of the people that founded the original colonies didn't leave England because they were happy with that government and its rules. As far they were concerned they were sailing to the far side of the planet to have their freedom. It wasn't until the King gave them no choice, and as far as they knew there was no other unclaimed land to retreat to again. It took hundreds of years but it eventually became fight for your freedom or die a servant of the crown.
We are starting to see the physical separation necessary for another revolution to form. There won't be an active revolution or civil war while the two sides cannot draw battle lines. The blue states started their cold rebellion with sanctuary cities and states. The red states are starting theirs with 2A sanctuaries and refusing vaccine passports. This will continue for years more while people agreeing with those different policies can move their lives to states that align correctly.
When that has mostly completed, then we might see an active revolution or civil war. The only other starting fire I can foresee is Resident Hiden sending Feds into a red state to take guns. He does that and I highly doubt people wait for battle lines to be drawn before real fighting begins.
