We're about 90% of the way from Step 4 to Step 5
I don’t think we’ll ever revolt against the government no matter how tyrannical it beocomes. As a nation, as a people, we’re too fat, lazy and comfortable. Not all of us...but as a nation this is true.
I agree and with your reasoning
Encourage young people to move to areas such as East Tenn (not Knoxville or probably Chattanooga) or East Texas or the region from the Dakotas to eastern Washington state. The more these areas fill up with ambitious, hard working, market oriented, family oriented straight people the better. Even the worst sort of government is much easier to bear if the population is not full of Quislings and welfare suck ups and queers.

I think we would, but getting the word out will be near to impossible unless we go back to pony express. Everything is snooped on, tracked, watched, photographed, etc. The British would have grabbed the guy in the North Tower before he gave the signal and Paul Revere’s horse would have been MIA if the American Revolution were occurring today.
you are 100% correct. We are so far from revolt that those advocating it are merely keyboard warriors of the first order. My grandfather fought in the Mexican Revolution and the Cristero War that followed. His reason for fighting was that the soldiers put his friend against the wall and shot him because they were out hunting rabbits and his friend had a .22 rifle. He said that they were starving and that the bandits were the only ones giving food. The reason he fought for El Cristo Rey was because he was a devout Catholic and the government burned a church and murdered the priests with several members of the church. By then he'd been fighting for about 3-4 years.
He said to never take food from the government or let your family be fed from "the man". It makes him your "patron" and you owe him your life.
We have so far to descend to actually make he middle class desperate enough for violence that it's a joke. Sure, there will be the occasional outrage like Waco or some TSA nonsense or even a growth in local police thuggery, but in general you have to be willing to die and lose all your home and savings in order to fight. So we are headed or should I say, sliding towards a socialist republic that will probably resemble some European hybrid with patches of "crazy" American freedom loving anachronisms.
Not to mention the job, the mortgage payment, the payments on the new truck and boat, soccer practice for the kids and NFL football on Sunday afternoons.
Maybe when their schedule slows down in February but then it'll be too cold to get out and do some revolutionizing......maybe in the spring.
Also, let’s face it. The military has us outgunned with trillions of dollars worth of cutting-edge high tech weapons that WE paid for. As much as we all love our guns, we aren’t much of a match for them.
With Patriots in charge that would not bother me, but clearly Obama has been purging their ranks, and it is now truly HIS Military.
Or the size of the surveillance state and ease of data collection.
In life people often speak for a single point of perspective. Not everyone is fat, lazy, and comfortable. It is a big country and they have bought many arms to take control and they are still afraid to use them but they keep inching forward. Be careful not to mix lazy with Christian behavior.
