You're right. Otherwise, all the propaganda would be unnecessary. But hold your horses. Historically, when the masses rise up in revolt, the end result is general worse than before. Like the Russians trading the Tsar for Lenin, or the French replacing a King with an Emperor. The American revolution is the rare exception to the rule. Once that fire starts spreading, nobody can control it or put it out until it's run it course. We need to be smarter about it. Like the Founders.
