I don't believe so, else it wouldn't have occurred. They were far more self-reliant in those days, and subjected to far less tyranny. Our oppressors see no need to afflict us with large bands of armed and uniformed fighters. Likely no need EVER. And without that, who is going to start fighting them with outright violence? And before the British soldiers were shooting at Americans, the Americans were resisting paying taxes, even in violation of the law, in significant numbers. Are we doing that? They resorted to tarring and feathering scoundrels, too. We don't even shower them with glitter.
True enough that we have certainly been a lot politer with our Political scoundrels than our forefathers and foremothers were. I think those days are numbered, however. Meanwhile how do I not pay my taxes in protest when the money goes before I see it? Back when people really were free in this country, this never would have happened to them.
At the beginning of the American Revolution, a minority were in favor of war to get the Brits out. There were the Loyalists to the British Crown to deal with (who ultimately had to leave for Canada or go back home unlike now how we let our enemies remain). There were those who just didn’t want to get involved in the conflict even though they didn’t like what the Brits were doing.
King George ramped up the conflict and solidified Americans against his tyranny — what King Barry is trying to do will also bring enough of us together to get the country back...now how’s that for optimism?
Post of the day!
We won’t even defund tyranny.
