Will There Be Another American Revolution?

NO! Everyone is a warrior sitting behind keyboard. When bullets start flying there'll be a lot of wet undies.
Speaker in the video didn't come across as a warrior nor did he
foresee a revolution to transpire in the U.S.
I was responding to thread title in general, not so much that video.
We live in different times. Revolutions take a lot of sacrifice. Most people these days aren't willing to sacrifice their comfort.
“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
Already is one but modern version - not in most cases taking up traditional arms but taking up “click bait” against each other - right vs left / woke vs anyone else who does not agree / educators vs parents / cancel culture vs anyone who does not agree / massive chunk of their population vs police - every group is at “war” with another.

Considering all the kisses on the cheeks Donato has been getting, it will happen again. When it does MAGA types will come armed.
Contrary to American belief, there's is not a great country. Quite the contrary, it's a fetid shithole.
Words of wisdom from one of the worst POTUS in history.

With all due respect, i will strongly disagree. Read Ron Chernow's biography of him. Grant was trashed in history by the same "lost cause" writers because he enforced reconstruction and rights for blacks, and he crushed the KKK. The lost cause people portrayed Lee as this gentlemanly brilliant strategist, and Grant as a bumbling alcoholic butcher. False of both counts. He wasnt perfect, but was a lot better than he was portrayed 100 years ago.
Robert E Lee was perhaps the vilest slave owner, he ran a breeding farm. He didn't believe that blacks should have families, he sold the offspring to other plantation owners.
Jim Crow was instituted after Ulysses S Grant served out his term limit. Like Douglas McArthur after him, General Grant was a student of Cornelius Scipio Africanus. Instead of taking the fight to Virginia, he chose to split off the new slave State of Texas from the rest of the Confederacy. It was a big risk, General Meade and the Army of the Potomac could have used Grant's reinforcements at Gettysburg. The Southwestern Campaign was more successful than even Grant could have imagined, culminating in the massive Siege of Vicksburg.
The MAGA crowd are Republicans as was the Union. The rebels were Democrats and still are judging by how they treat the poor black people.
If the stable genius chooses to run in 23 and loses I would say that violence will be a near certainty.
