The OP asked if they could or would, I said yes.
At no time did I discuss the importance of the internet or what the people would do without it.
Move on.

Anyone could topple if the stars aligned, but the USA will not get toppled by the people.

solders and cops aren't robots. many of them hate the regime as well and eventually give in and join the other side, as is happening in egypt now.

I guess you don't really comprehend how large our police force, National Guard and military really is, on a national scale. There will ALWAYS be those who will switch sides, but there will be more who follow orders when it comes time to restore order.

I know my history, but more importantly, I also know the present. The American people are not going to do shit. And any small pockets who do act up will be dealt with.
Never in history has a nations law enforcement / military been so advanced while its people so dumbed down, out of shape, unarmed, uneducated, and unmotivated. If there is ever any sort of a revolution in the USA, the majority of the people will watch it on TV.

as an aside, it's times like this that shows what the conspiracy propaganda that people eat up really is: a government psy-op to make one feel powerless in the face of a supposedly invincible government.

Have you even ever been part of or in the middle of any large scale riot or political uprising? The answer is no, so keep reading on the internet and thinking you're smart and know what will happen, because I can assure you the American people no longer have what it takes to overthrow the US Government. It ain't gonna happen in our lifetime at least.
To think Americans could do what Egypt just did is laughable. Not these days. Americans can hardly even peacefully protest anymore without getting arrested in the process. Any real sight of a massive uprising on a national scale would be crushed quickly.
And the sad part is, their rights will continue to be stripped away, unemployment could rise to 25%, the USD could totally collapse, and they still would not act on a national level in the manner Egypt just did. You have a nation of worker bees and zombies who will do what they are told and sleep out for the latest iPhone while going in debt to buy it.
However, I'd love to be proven wrong on this and see all hell break lose to get some things back in line and remind the government who works for who. But I know I'll never see it in my lifetime.
