Sorry ... no.
Angst is building, true enough. But a rebellion? I don’t think so.
There are people out there with 10,000 rounds of ammunition stored, but none of that matters if the FIRST round isn’t fired. And it won’t be. We’re too polite, too forgiving of differences and too law-abiding to actually shoot somebody. Nope.
For generations we’ve ignored politics and “let somebody else do that” while we work at our jobs, raise our families and pay our bills. Hell, we don’t even follow the affairs of the local school committee, while they allow our kids to graduate high school as functional illiterates with no knowledge of history or simple arithmetic but deep-seated feelings about the environment and global warming. Oh, and socialist beliefs, too.
Without our supervision, our “leaders” have been screwing us, wholesale. We give up HALF of what we earn in taxes, at least, but nobody says a thing. We just gripe about “those politicians raising our taxes again” and keep writing checks. The CHURCH ITSELF only asks for 10 percent but we pay five times that much to various forms of government without any complaint ... and it’s not nearly enough!

God save us all.
“Oh, wait! Hold the phone! Baseball season just started and the Red Sox are playing in a few minutes! Sorry ... gotta go.”
Or American Idol, or the Soapies, or - - - so many things that keep us distracted from what the termites are doing in our government.
I’m afraid there’s too much truth in what you are saying. I know too many people who are against the Obama administration but are so desirous of being “taken care of” by the government that they immediately go on the public dole, at the first opportunity, like being unemployed, like the almost half of Americans mentioned in other articles here, who pay no income tax but receive money from them who do.
I’m afraid we’re being sucked into that black vortex called government dependency, and then where is you revolution?
