That's no big shocker. Life lesson: there's far more people who talk a big game than those who will actually deliver.
Every time our forum has a discussion about options of escape from America, the pickings are pretty limited with no real good options. Despite its flaws, the USA still offers the vast majority of its population a very good standard of living by any global standard.
I'm not suggesting that people should accept government overstep because life is "good enough," but in reality, 99.5% of people will and do.
Generally anyone who is going to seriously buck against the government is either a nutjob or a liberty hobbyist.
Revolutions happen all the time all around the world. They happen when things are bad enough that people see no choice, but to put their own life on the line.
We haven't had a genuine revolution attempt in the US since the Civil War because things aren't terrible enough to prompt it. Any time I hear someone talking about having guns and being ready to fight the gubermunt, I immediately write off all of their opinions.
