Upheaval will probably occur when things get bad enough and people realize that the two major parties have no solutions and have the elections rigged so that only they can win. Today many people are getting along just fine and are still optimistic and think it makes a difference which major party gets elected.

My prediction is that when the first batch of baby boomers gets stiffed on their SS benefits, there will be hell to pay.
Whatever party is in office at the time will be out on its ass. That will be as close to a rebellion as we will get. And I doubt it will take more than about five more years.
I'd still like to see every politician who voted in favor of a budget that raided the SS funds to be stripped of his or her retirement and locked up, but that's just me.
