6. As a lifelong Floridian with 2 teenage sons, I couldn't be more proud of what all of these

Kids are doing.

9. I join with you

tho I'm not in Florida. I've been ASTOUNDED at these kids. They're rock stars. And they're going to change the world. They really are, and not just with the gun issue.

3. We are too stable for a revolution to take place. Too high a percentage are comfortable.

Protests are rising to the level that we might see change.

It is happening on many fronts and is non-stop.

4. Agree 100%

Resistance is NOT going away but the fights won't be won easily. PERSIST! RESIST!

Here is good info to help from all fronts.

5. Oh hell

The resistance is been alive and kicking since even before Trump took office. It's just seen some major action lately.

7. In Germany, various 1848 revolutions failed b/c people didn't like disruption

At least that's what many histories claim.

In other words, the majority had no patience and only wanted peace and calm in streets.

Also it's claimed that Weimar Republic's attempt at democracy failed b/c majority of Germans found give and take and constant back-and-forth of democracy unpleasantly messy.

8. Germans are still like this

We like to keep our chancellors for 16 years, like Merkel and Kohl, unless they f*** up like Putin's buddy Schröder.

Sure, there was the "sexual revolution", but generally we prefer small steps and political / societal stability. Once a step is done, it seems like very few want to go back, and the new status quo is accepted. I'm glad this is true even for issues like abortion, minimum wage, and now it seems like even marriage equality is here to stay, no matter which political parties form the next coalition (unless it's the AfD). I hope we can find our way to legalizing weed some day to settle my wishlist once and for all.

Of course, the AfD wants to turn back time by at least 70 years, so…

11. No. Those calling for revolution did not have this in mind. This is a grass root uprising of

Americans kids and others...kind of like a decent version of the tea party only not fraudulent as the tea party was.
