The messiness of revolutions isn’t limited to physical violence. Societies convulse as well.

We revolted, in part, against Great Britain because colonial administration did not provide for civil means to redress our grievances.

Our wise Framers provided those means, of peaceful redress. First among them is the fact that the people are represented.

Let’s say we fight and win. Then what? The same corrupted populace will remain. Will they demand a return to the Constitution?

Don’t bet on it.

Yes, and how is that taxation WITH representation working out for you?

No, the populace will not remain the same.

For many, the portion of the populace that openly has supported this regime will be primary targets. It’s a matter of eliminating liabilities and preserving assets.

We do not want an armed rebellion, as many millions will die. This has to happen without violence if at all possible.

Not many. And the dead will lose their franchise to vote.

The fight should be against the media. Once someone starts holding the media accountable for the truth, the rest of dominoes will fall. Does that mean the killing of top media brass, news producers and news anchors? I'll answer that another day...
