Not ever generation has the spirit to rebel.
I think that most Americans would sooner become like North Koreans than die for a Republic. There really isn’t much hope.

I think there is some truth to what you say. IIRC, however, even during the revolution there was less than 50% support - at first. I could be wrong, but the fact is that there was, at the least, a large majority of colonists that did not want to give up their “comfort” and wanted to stick with the status quo.
Sadly I must agree. If people were serious about rebellion they'd be down at the local tavern where they can discuss it freely, not sitting around at their keyboards where they can't; where all they can say is, "Things are not that bad yet, but when they are, we'll show 'em!"
