Not really. Governments get stale every 200 years? No, not necessarily. And not if there is the ability to change government through elections or checks and balances as exists with ours.

To call for a revolution every 200 years just because, is not something Ben Franklin would have supported. In fact if you read the Declaration of Independence they cautioned against overturning existing political structures without good cause...

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations..."

It's antifa, BLM and anarchists who want a revolution. What I and other conservatives want is the corruption out of government and the constitution followed. You won't get that from just overturning the government. You need to articulate what you would do different and nobody I've seen calling for revolution does that.

Really? There is a percentage of our government that is selling America down the drain. This isn’t about Antifa. This is happening within our government. When I say revolution I say revolt to those in power that are not following the tenants of the Constitution.

Even if it is accurate, we're off by a decent ways. Nearly 50 years late, or 25% of the target time!
