I used to think that was an automatic reset.
Now, looking at the middle east, tiannamen square, vietnam, cuba, just dozens of examples....the "revolucion" always seems to go toward the leftists.
It seems that just because France wanted to hurt Britain and Britain was hurting for money that they just happened to give in to the good guys.
I don't see how that happens again.
I agree we don't want it as uprisings as you describe. In no way should the people rise up in violence and bring down the boot of government on their throat -- that is what the left so desires.
I see the only viable option is for a number of States to get extremely determined and assert 10th Amendment rights. The States need to gut the Federal government's non-Constitutional powers. That would entail a number of States with leaders that have the Warrior mindset and drive, and constituents that overall back them.
Of course, I see no State leader that rises to that level. I fear the most likely path is down a decaying socialist hellhole. Our Republic will continue to decay at the hands of Statist government parasites. My reading of history convinces me that once Liberty is mostly gone, you can't "legislate" your way back to Freedom.
