OPINION: BY JEFFREY A FRIEDBERG

“You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it’s evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world….”
—The Beatles, Lennon-Macartney, REVOLUTION, 1969
As I’ve asked before, “Where do you go to have a revolution?”
Is there a special rally point on a map? What does one do when they get there; if they make it there?
What are the rules of engagement? Who and what is the target. When and where is lunch? Where’s the water truck?
Who’s in charge?
I used to think the “revolution” being called for—screamed for—was not coming.
Because—as long as there’s beer in the fridge, a new episode of The Walking Dead, and a new DC Comics movie onscreen—everything is Golden. The average American won’t bother.
In the first American Revolution only 30% of the populace “bothered.” But they had real leaders; real men; guys who took the point and led from the front —daring canon and shot as it tore past, making holes in their coats.

So, I never thought there would or could ever really be an armed revolt in America.
Conservatives and Republicans don’t protest. They don’t march; they don;t burn things down; they don’t lie hysterically EVERYwhere possible. Not like Democrats do.
The “Socialist,” Uninformed—those who don’t actually know what socialism really is, or how communism fits in. Or that communism has murdered 100,000,000 (MILLION) people. Our silicon social warriors, our radicalized college and high school stoonts, our suburban housewives, our aging hippies, millennials, celebrities, masked thugs, Hollywood and TV stars, news moguls, zillionaire entertainers, kneelers, and others. They have no idea what they call for.
Nobody ever taught them the evil of communism. The hopelessness of socialism. All those dead in streets and pits. The terrified, the hospitalized, and the hidden. The loss of individualism. The absence of imagination and creativity under totalitarian rule. The dehumanization. The enslavement.
No—the whole socialist thing sounds just swell to Uninformed Socialists. The worshippers of a fake, unicorn, bogus “Equality.” Where are all pulled down to the lowest level—not raised up in any “tide that lifts all boats.”
Conservatives and Republicans will have a breaking point.
It could happen in 2020, during or shortly after the Presidential election. The democrats will push things too far—even as Donald Trump sweeps them away like the political garbage they have become and are and always will be.
Democrats will push things too far—by stealing votes, by slander and libel, and by other lying, crooked means.
—And maybe even by attempted or a ripened assassination.
Something along those lines might finally do it.
Something like that might finally set free the voices and actions of Thomas Paine, George Washington, the Green Mountain Boys—and others.
Released, they will come….

Omaha Beach, Anzio, the Battle Of The Bulge, Iwo Jima, Midway, Pearl Harbor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, Dien Bien Phu, Tet, Pleiku, Kandahar, Fallujah, and more —all those vengeful spirits raging to trample and set wrongs right— where wrath bursts to life, and marches—unstoppable.
It will be a short war….
…and the world changed forever.
We got lucky in the American Revolution. The Founding Fathers were truly amazing and visionary men.
But name ONE revolution since then that has turned out well.
Geez, there’s nothing golden about a DC comics movie. They mostly suck.
THAT’S TRUE AND YOU ARE RIGHT! They do stink. Especially that pink-hat wussy Captain Demerica.
You Get It. You’re a Conserve too :)

Captain America is Marvel, not DC. I agree with you about Chris Evans, but not about Cap. He’s a great character and I gotta say Evans portrayed him well. I really liked what happened to him in Avengers: Endgame, soon to be the highest-grossing movie of all time. All three Captain America movies were great.
God forbid that this would happen. I fear names are being written down and the purge will be comprehensive, because once it gets to that point, there will be no half measures. I pray it doesn’t go that far.
“But name ONE revolution since then that has turned out well.”
Poland after Solidarnosc.
Czechoslovakia after the Velvet Revolution.
Those will do for a start.

Revolution was 1968, not 1969. The internet is a wonderful research tool - why doesn’t anybody use it before they mash the ‘send’ button?
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Cow (Hillary)
You ain’t go gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
Right, you got it right. I saw Chris Evans in something the other night with Dakota Fanning, and it stunk. And he stunk.
In terms of supporting leftwing socialism, Chris Evans is a despicable traitor.
That said, I came across a movie he directed and co-starred with the VERY lovely Alice Eve - “Before We Go” (2014). I found it on the On Demand titles via SlingTV.
Set in NYC about two strangers who meet as the subways were closing and what happens in the ensuing 6 hours. Quite entertaining in a charming way. He’s jazz trumpet player and that caught my attention...and there’s Alice Eve - always watchable.

That funneh....
It was recorded in 1968. Look it up, vato.
Certainly not the Russian revolution. I often wonder if there was divine guidance.
We were darn lucky.
It’s amazing that the Beatles song was anti-revolution. “Don’t ya know that you can count me out....”
That was Marvel, DC is much worse.
There was a pause then the word “in” run into the beginning of the next verse. Check out the white album version.
Yes. John Lennon was more moderate than people know. I remember a clip from Monday Night Football where Lennon was sitting next to Ronald Reagan, smiling, while Reagan explained the rules of American football.
Oddly enough, I have read that John Lennon had Republican leanings. It is something that was talked about 10 years ago in several books and interviews that were being published but I think I kind of got squelched by the left, since he’s the working man’s whatever....
James Brown was also Republican, and Martin Luther King was as well.
So... the Dems have really conducted quite the coup for being a bunch of dope smoking hippie protesting gutter trash from the 60s.
There may be a Resurgence among the Republicans within minority groups Etc starting to happen, which is a good thing and I thank POTUS for sort of warming the coals that are going to have to light off and take fire.
But the brainwashing is deep and ingrained in the hearts of a multitude of fools.
Theodore Adomo might have been right all along. As was Hayack.
