With the reelection of the communist I now see no way we can avoid a revolution. I use the analogy of a building, before the election we were heavily damaged, and leaning to one side, but with a lot of work, engineering it was still at least possible to fix the country, but now after the election that possibility has ended, the building is now on fire, and by the time we put it out there will be to much damage to repair, we will have to bulldoze it, and rebuild it. Fortunately the foundation (the constitution) is still sound, and will give us something to build on, but it's going to be tough to get there.
Meaning that even if the communists lose in 2016, even if we get a super majority in the Senate, so much damage is going to be done in the next 4 years (on top of the damage that's already been done) that I see no way to fix it peacefully, I am not advocating for anything simply stating an unfortunate fact, there is no one to avoid it at this point, we are in for a very violent, and bloody war, and the country may not be the same when were done.
I anticipate it will start within the next 5 years, I doubt it will be sooner than summer 2013, but it could be anytime after, becoming more likely as time goes on, I would say that there is better than an 80-90% chance that it will start within the next 5 years, if we get that far without one I will be shocked, but it certainly will not be longer than 10, it is now inevitable, the only question is when, and how, to that end I see some possibilities:
1: Spontaneous, one day it just starts with no apparent warning, one day people just wake up, and say enough is enough.
2: Snowball effect, it will just be one incident, one incident that in the grand scheme of things is probably minor, but it will just be the straw that broke the camels back, one incident to far. The people will react, and the government will over react, as the saying goes "when your only tool is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail". It just spirals out of control from there in to a revolution.
3: The 1775 model, a small motivated group of patriots start a personal revolt against the government, and it spreads from there until you end up with a full blown revolution.
4: The secessionist model, states finally get fed up, and start breaking away ala 1860.
5: Full economic collapse, people stop lending us money, and the system finally collapses, from there rioting, and assassinations eventually lead to a revolution.
What do you think?
The question is what will the country look like afterwords, and will it still be in one piece, or will it break up?
