Revolutions rarely end well, ours being the sole exception, so far.

It’s more a second civil war, we already had a revolution. A civil war over indentured debt slavery of our kids.

That’s because definitionally speaking, ours was not a “revolution” it was a “war of secession.” A “revolution” is a war to overthrow a government. The Founders had no desire to dethrone the king, they just wanted to no longer be part of his kingdom.
