Revolutions are used to replace a FORM of government with another form. So, what are you going to institute instead?

If you are just advocating violent removal from office of the current occupants, that's not a revolution. That's rebellion, or a coup.

It's like it says in the Declaration:

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government

I'm all for altering our system. Are you? Otherwise, you are just advocating anarchy.

I believe resetting to original intent counts as altering, abolishing, and instituting a new government because our current government is NOT the one outlined in the Constitution.

“Revolutions are used to replace a FORM of government with another form.”

Replacing our system with a government of limited powers would in fact be a change in the form of government.
