I mean a lot of Americans frankly understandably glorify revolution as a means of getting actual change and removing the Republicans, but the issue is unless you commit to social change that only builds resentment. In 1960 in Turkey the military coup removed a right-wing party from government that had been promoting politicised religious extremism and organising violence against ethnic minorities (stop me if youve heard that one before). They put in a new explicitly secular constitution based on human rights and restored democracy the next year. Spoilers: it didnt hold, and actually galvanised the religious extremists which in the very long term led to the current state Turkey is in.

I think if you want to get change in America, I would start by getting the people you know to change their views. The issue is thats hard!
