America has never known revolution, except in name. In the greatest numbers, what Americans have known is war - civil war and foreign wars. And in lesser numbers, wars against her native peoples.
So why revolution? She must be thinking "industrial revolution" or some such.
Why not "putsch"? Armed and over-throwing tyrants. Then merely recall a constitutional convention and enforce literacy tests: no Bible knowledge, no vote. Multiple votes for small business owners. Block votes for churches (but not the Catholics.) Abortion punishable by a hanging in any churchyard. Surely the righteous shall rule.
Then restore the people's representative democracy on that renewed constitutional footing - like the solid Alaskan permafrost.
Unless a new secessionist movement and ensuing civil war is easier to plan and to execute. Like hunting moose on Fifth Avenue.
