Revolution/civil war dont start with the snap of a finger. Rising tension/escalation is how things progress, unless there's some kind of "signal" given. American should take lessons there.

ie: protest peacefully, if they try to stop you from protesting then be ready to defend your right with violence then SHTF and you get a civil war/revolution, voila.

Thats where canadian trucker protest failed, when they got the green army guy, ppl should have stepped up with weapon to defend our protesting right and escalate into revolt/civil war.
