Unless the revolution is going to include a halt to the internet and TV, it ain't happening. Only about 60% of those who are able to actually vote. Of those who do vote, at least 40% just pick the candidate that they like best or base their vote on something stupid.
What I'm getting at is that most people in this country just don't care enough to revolt. Remember, Obama pushes his speech back an hour earlier this year so as not to compete with American Idol. That should speak volumes about where the country's priorities are.
Here is what will happen in 2012. Either Obama will win re-election or a republican candidate will win and that republican candidate will pretty much be just like Obama and Bush before him and Clinton before him.
The only possible revolution on the horizon is within the republican party. If they somehow fail to take back the neither the house or senate in November they are going to shit themselves and we could see infighting in the party that could cause it to fracture apart. We might eventually see a tea party like wing of the republicans and then a more moderate wing of the republicans.
So short of a catastrophic event, there will be no revolution.
