In 1776, Americans engaged in open warfare, with guns and killing and infections and amputations and no anesthetic, with England, because they were tired of paying taxes and getting nothing from them.
Our current population has emotional breakdowns when told they have to wear a mask to keep old people from dying. I am not at all confident that we will ever reach the same level of energy that led to organized, cohesive revolution and war unless some outside power starts taking away people’s internet and pizza rolls.
Not when more than a third are too apathetic and disengaged to care, and another third are beholden to the robber baron cause through blind consumption of propaganda disguised as ‘fair and balanced’ news.

To be fair, who the fuck goes up against the American army‽
Canada. There are other wars the U.S. has lost, but I don’t know how involved the U.S. Army was in them.
In 1776 Americans went to war with England to preserve slavery in the colonies … fixed that for you.
