Whats gonna pass. Trump getting elected? Feels like you're vague intentionally.

The outrage over trump winning or the BLM riots. Take your pick. People are far too comfortable to go war over this stuff in numbers large enough to make a difference and even IF you did, it'd go terribly. We are long past the time when you can really fight against the government in direct conflict. A "revolution" that actually was big enough to be threatening would get annihilated by the military.

Now lots of protesting and minor rioting for a few months? That could easily happen, but that accomplishes virtually nothing. All the social change that happens isn't the result of quick violent movements, it's the result of continuous subtle social change. Roughly 40% of our dumbass countrymen support trump. You can't alienate that large of a group and hope to affect real positive change and you can't change their mind by yelling at them about how dumb they are. You need to descalate conflict, get them to put their defenses down, and then gradually sway them towards a more reasonable line of thinking. However, thats the opposite of what is happening. If anything the divide between republicans and democrats is only increasing.
