You are either blind or not to bright. The revolution is taking place right under your nose and for some reason because you don’t see blood in the streets you believe nothing is going on.
The Revolutionary war did not start with the battle of Lexington.Instead there were a series of events leading up to that first battle.
Go here, learn.
I’d also highly recommend the book Revolutionary Dissent by Solomon.
You are either naive or a keyboard commando.
No he is right, the situation is completely understood, it is the question of whether anyone will truly get off their butts and do anything about it. 90% of those who say they will are going to duck and wait for someone else to do it because they have more important selfish priorities. So it won’t get done...

Inaccurate and incomplete.
British troops and Local Massachusetts resident were not pointing rifles at each other on Lexington Common, that morning in April 1775. They were pointing smoothbores.
Rifles were used in action only later: the first such instance in Euro-style warfare. But there were never enough to affect the outcome. George Washington had a poor opinion of them - as low as his regard for militia.
The “list of events” at the webpage doesn’t mention the Gaspee Affair: in June 1772, Rhode Islanders destroyed HMS Gaspee, a Royal Navy schooner chasing smugglers. Gaspee’s captain was seriously wounded, and was expected to die but did not.
Altogether more important to the Colonists and discussed more in public than the Boston Tea Party - the latter involved only the loss of private property, with no injuries.
British response to the Gaspee Affair frightened Colonists more thoroughly than many other events listed as leading to the war: Home Government officials announced they would apprehend the suspects, then take them back to England to be tried.
“Removal for trial” became a central concept on the list of injustices, provocations, and oppressive behavior indulged in by the British, in the days before actual combat.
