What do you think the odds are of a second revolution?
As we've been seeing since George Floyd was killed, the left (yes, primarily blacks) seems to be Hell bent on destroying that which they don't agree with, be it a police station in Seattle or a statue in San Francisco. They've become emboldened by the lack of response to their treacherous ways. A Trump win in November will surely add fuel to this fire, and the prudent mind would conclude that the destructive antics of the left will only increase to the point when good Americans say "**** it" and rise up to fight them.
With a Biden win, the left will claim vindication of their treasonous conduct and will surely increase both the severity and the frequency of their attacks to the point where good Americans say "**** it" and rise up to fight them.
Either way, the left would be the cause, simply because they've now become not only emboldened, but entitled.
I believe a day will come when the shooting starts. There are neighborhoods near me that I wouldn't drive through on a bet, and I'm armed all the time. Those folks aren't going to be happy with simply undoing the past by tearing down monuments and statues as they've done in the past, they're going to feel entitled to come and take for their own that which isn't theirs. They'll do that either because they'll feel they've been shafted by a Trump re-election, or, because they've been emboldened by the election of a President who should be in a ******* nursing home.
I've said it before: It's time to pick a side, because there's no avoiding the fight that's coming...
The Second Revolution is already under way. It's just not a shooting revolution like the first one. This is a revolution of the people taking the country back from the oligarchs, the corporatists, and the wealthy.
The American Constitution is based on the founding principles in the Declaration of Independence. The Founding Fathers were overthrowing a corrupt system of government whereby your position and station in life was decided by the accident of your birth. If your father was a King, a Lord, or very wealthy, you lived a life of power and privilege. If your family was poor, you remained poor for all of your life, and your opportunities to rise above the accident of your birth were slim, and none.
It was no accident that the founding principle of the Declaration of Independence was that "all men are created equal". The idea that the accident of your birth should forever define your potential and your life, is the ideal that has given people hope the world over. It's why people from shithole countries continue to flock to your shores. To have the opportunity to rise to the level of their abilities.
And yet, less than 250 years after the rich elitist of their age, came up with this idea, the country they created has devolved into the kind of society the sought to avoid. A country ruled by wealthy millionaires. Where wealthy corporations exact tribute from their workers for providing them with jobs that don't even pay enough to live on. Where working people have been reduced to serfdom, owing fealty to the wealthy lords who pay them, and not to the people.
While the rest of the first world seeks is reducing the influence of the elite, and to give their people the best life, and the most opportunities possible, the USA seeks to consolidate corporate power by crashing the economy and impoverishing the people endlessly, until you have at last reached the point that you are now desperate to go back to work to "save the economy", rather than to stay at home and save the people.
Feudal societies are inherently inequitable. That's why this system of government failed. Billionaires should NOT exist. The Founding Fathers sought to create a level playing field. The Republican Party has re-established the feudal system in 40 short years.
