Time will tell, of course. I just don’t see resistance to this happening beyond perhaps an annual protest in DC...if that.

The resistance may be targeted to the breakdown in the political government structure. People no longer feel represented. Gays represent only 2% of the population, but had the power to frighten country leaders into discarding thousands of years of social convention. The same happened when 2% of uninsured caused the other 98% to be thrown into turmoil. Illegal immigrants are getting more rights than citizens.

The war will be over a people whose representatives are ignoring them in favor some fleeting perceived minor political advantage.

This may just be the spark that lights the other combustibles that are piling up.

You are correct.
There isn’t going to be any armed uprising or any uprising at all.
A lot of Freepers talk about the silent majority but what they leave out is that the majority is silent because they don’t care either way.
As long as the wifi works and they have ESPN and enough of a job to keep all that stuff turned on then they’re not going to risk that.
The worst that will happen is that the left over reaches and for a time maybe things level off. Then after a few years of things being level everything picks up where it left off.
Gay marriage is a perfect example. About 10 years ago states voted to not recognize gay marriage. Because of 9-11 and the war things held level. Now 10 years later everything started back right where it left off and as of this morning gay marriage is a constitutional right.
