No, it doesn't seem revolution is imminent, this is a terrible premise from the get-go. People dissatisfied with the government is nothing new (if you want a quick laugh, google up congressional approval ratings of the last hundred years or so, you may be surprised), and while they're certainly more dissatisfied than <i>usual</i> of late, historically things can and have been much worse.
Revolutionary ideas are ultimately a sort of romantic notion, that said, and I can see the interest in exploring them. The reality wouldn't be terribly romantic at all, I'm afraid; it'd be bloody, protracted, and completely shatter the american way of life for decades to come. Not much of a fix for problems with how the government runs foreign and domestic policy.
How ya doing, buddy?
