"...an armed revolution. I see no other way."            "Throwing the bums out never seems to work...   ...So what other solution is there?"

Ah, you're serious.  

Well, lots of people hate democracy and try and take over by force, and I've chatted with a few in my travels in Latin America.   Before you actually put your thoughts into actions you might want to go visit and see first hand what life is like in an armed revolutionary war zone.   What happens is that getting back out of that kind of condition turns out to be a lot harder than it was getting in.

Agreed. However, what do you about no peaceful due process, deleting The Constitution , disarming the citizenry, shutting down free speech and peaceful assembly, rigging the ballot box, jailing people who are "accused of being enemies of the state", etc.?

One has to weigh the results of what to be done. On one hand: communist take-over and no way to get our freedoms back OR some horrendous times to defend the country, The Constitution, ourselves and our families.

I think it's a no-brainer. Once a CommuFascit regime takes hold and destroys our democratic and capitalist institutions, there is no way to defeat them without a military coup that REMAINS benevolent and eventually, hands power back to civilians.

People who lived under dictatorships and Communist regimes will never let the Communists win, if they can help it.

You need to pause and think of what you said. Latin America and the USA are quite different societies. Our Oligarchies operate in an environment where corruption is not endemic and wielded only by the politically connected. Numerically, in Latin America they are proportionally smaller as a prcentage of the population.

What we see in the US today is the middle class, and they can be relentless and overwhelming, when fired up enough. Your suggestion that they "hate democracy" is both repulsive and untrue.

The comparison is ignorant and mind-boggling absurd.
