      I never said it would. What you are asking for is authoritarianism, and nobody but a few wins in that system.

      It will always be a fight. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth fighting for, because the people trying to regress back to 1850 certainly seem to think it is.

          Revolution doesn’t “prevent the next party from undoing it.” You can’t stop regressives through revolt, at least not permanently like you are wishing for. Regressives still exist after revolt, especially if you lose. The only permanent solution to prevent them is authoritarianism (not a winning solution for anyone); I’m just taking your desires to their logical conclusion.

          Also, revolt sounds romantic as an idea, but I hope you realize that the outcome, win or lose, would be built upon the blood of a lot of people (possibly including you and the people you love). The last revolt in the US was the Civil War over slavery, and a lot of people died.

          That’s not something I wish for, and you should think seriously about whose lives you’re willing to sacrifice upon that altar if that’s something you think you want.
