We can but how do you as an individual plan to convince Americans to start the revolution? Personally, I think we need to build them up and show them the systemic issues they're dealing with in order to convince them.

I don't disagree with you, and I've made this point to someone else as well. I'm not a revolutionary yet because people haven't been burned enough to be convinced by a revolutionary yet
