I have often wondered if it wasn't time for a new revolution in the US. The problem is what the heck do we replace the government with?

Actually, the problem is that those fuckers have tanks and flamethrowers and shit now.

The Republic as designed in the Constitution was just fine, I believe that the problem is how far we've moved from it.

The US is too big for this.
It would first require some means of tearing the country asunder, prompting perhaps secessionist urgings so that there were smaller entities with proper guarded borders.

That is doable. It has happened to The Netherlands which was divided into Belgium and Holland, to Germany which was divided into East and West Germany, to India which was divided into Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, and most recently of course it has happened to the Sovjet Union. Plenty of precedents.

Well, they want us all to have biometric identity cards.

They now want to operate a database storing our emails, SMS text messages, phone calls, and details of what websites we frequent.

Don't forget all the surveillance cameras

The problem is that the people have changed. Maybe I'm just cynical but I can't imagine people caring enough about their neighbors any more to stand up and fight when they see an injustice. There have been plenty of examples recently where small groups of people were persecuted just because they were different from what was the accepted norm. The mass majority of the people just sit back and believe whatever lies the government tells.
