Government is an extension of culture. Maybe that's why we have so much gridlock in D.C.? I hope you also realize that these trends tend to preempt revolutions.This isn't about government, it's about culture.I think the government needs to start a program to force people to be more self-sufficient.

I think Trump's election was a political revolution, and not enough people on both sides of the aisle seem to notice. I don't see people taking their guns into the streets, but one way or another things will eventually come to a head. My guess is either a war (big one), a terrorist attack (big one), or a 1930s style depression (big one). After WWII the Europeans had enough of war and so they turned to social democracy as the preferred form of gov't; maybe we'll end up with something like that.
