Yeah, I think if the mighty USSR could be overthrown by hungry, tired roustabouts then it could happen here, given the right seet of circumstances.
As long as the vast majority of us enjoy an unparalleled environment of wealth combined with free will, there will be nothing resembling an armed resistance.
I mean, I understand the anger directed towards Bush. I don’t like him or almost anything he does. And he may well have used dirty tricks to get elected. Ever heard of Tamany Hall? Roscoe Conkling? I won’t go into how much election fraud has happened in this country. But coups generally happen when the lifestyle of the citizens just flat out sucks. And to suggest that the American standard of living is that far down in the dumps is ridiculous.
As little regard the rest of the world gives Bush, they'd consider us absolute fools to even consider such a thing. Which is why these guys are fools.
