Let's hope it continues to burn.

The thing about popular revolts is that they are much more likely to succeed without much bloodshed in civilized countries like Egypt and Bolivia; less so in dictatorships like Libya and cleptocracies like the US, which are bound to crack down heavily.

The US has made sure its military can't be opposed from within (which is why the 2nd Amendment needs to be repealed as an anachronism). The best course of action appears to be a General Strike after the European model. If the Republicans keep up their current course, they will soon create the ideal conditions for this.
