>>Are we in a pre-revolutionary state right now?

Not yet. The people who want a return to a self-sufficient America are too busy working and spending to risk their livelihoods in a revolt. They won’t even call out sick for a week to join in a general strike and mildly-violent protest. We may see some short (1-2 hours) Tea party protests in the Fall, but they will be extremely civil and well-behaved and meaningless.

A protest has to be messy with an underlying threat of direct action to be effective. Anything less is just a pep rally for “our” team and has no effect on the opposition.

I agree the people who are angry have yo much to lose I see nothing happening.
One there is a leadership vacuum. Two the population has no stomach for revolution in its true sense. Lastly there are not the numbers to wage the fight.
