Now obviously this is just a thought experiment on my part, I think our government would have to be outright fascist before we'd see the populace desire a revolution. We are too comfortable and too complacent to try anything like that in the present day.

At least part of the reason most people don't notice is because they're afraid to. It's so much easier and safer to think that everything is going to be ok and that our government is taking care of us.

We don't need a Civil War to fix America we just need to vote the crooks out, both Parties and replace them with Independents, Libertarians, Constituionalists, etc.
So, can anyone out there think of a possible scenario for a second american revolution?

Not everyone in the US is a couch potato...But, more importantly, seriously deluded & blind to the truth of what the government has become. If even half the population sees the truth & stands up to shout, "You've become jerks & crooks & we won't take it anymore, so you're fired", don't you thank that would make a difference?

Actually, the 2-party system currently in place both have the same goal: Absolute power over the whole Citizen Body...They just have differing philosophies on how to do it. The key here is that both parties want control over the People, but the United States of America was founded on the idea that the People are supposed to control the government.

Easier said than done, since thsoe who are in power now are in there because of our voting. Also let's not forget the atrocity that was Election 2000.
To be effective AT ALL we MUST move away from the two party system.
