This is exactly why there aren't millions in the streets right now pissed off. Its exactly why there's no "2nd American revolution."

People are too comfortable. They have their house, their job, their family, their internet, all their comforts, all their possessions, their food, etc.

People will NEVER risk comfort for freedom. Its going to have to get a lot worse. But the enemies know this, which is why they are hellbent on taking away arms from the People before it gets there.

That and our side also doesn't take to the streets because there's a huge leadership vacuum. During this last "election", if you thought of conservatives as an army, our general was relieved of command and all but literally one or two of our officers turned out to be traitors.

Then there's that kumbaya session that we had in DC on inauguration day. I believe people were ready to fight back then but when Trump just meekly handed over the keys and went to Florida a lot of people lost heart.

That might not be a popular sentiment here, but it's fact.

Plus that event was more Care Bears than Revolutionary Patriots.

Very true, Trump just surrendering and demanding "unity and healing" really killed off people's energy and willingness to fight. I have no doubt that millions would be ready to do whatever necessary, given the leadership. But Trump meekly handed over the keys to an illegal regime, said "have a nice life" and went back to being a billionaire in Florida and playing golf.

It's also a fact that most people on this site didn't show up for [reasons]. That leadership comes from elected officials and we get what we elected.

Agreed. Actually taking away arms might be what it takes for these people to reassess their risk/reward matrix.

John Hancock was a wealthy British sympathizer until they confiscated his home and destroyed his business. Even then, it didn't become kinetic war until the Brits came for the guns.

Feeling of comfort may be true, but the fact is there are a lot of people with families who depend on them. You may not feel it is a valid excuse, but many do.

Also, the "iNsUrReCtIoN" only showed someone like myself that the organization wasn't there. Aside from the fact they were set up, a bunch of people went in and accomplished nothing. They had no plan. Couple that with a President with ZERO support in all branches of government, both sides of the isle. How in Earth could you possibly expect a "revolution" when we already know it would be over before it even began?
