I think most Americans will be OK with revolutionary political change if the economy remains something that allows them to continue to bank, to work, to watch YoutTube or Netflix or TikTok. To eat at a restaurant or go on holiday. Most young Americans seem commited to Wokeism. As they assume more leadership in society, it will be easier to junk the constitution, bulldoze Mt rushmore, do away with citizenship, etc. But as long as they maintain the ability for people to participate in consumer society, a new woke totalitarianism will be (in time) acceptable to most.

Most older people don't know (or want to know) how deeply and naturally the young and educated have been baptized into the Soc Just religion.
And like you said, as long as the Wifi stays on and the food is still plentiful, the 1968 dispensation will gradually yet totally conquer and subsume the 1776 dispensation and very few will notice or care, esp as those of us raised in the 20th century die off.
Exactly correct. Bread and circuses. I often thought during the covid tyranny here in Canada "why don't people rise up and resist this?" As long as they could work from home and buy stuff on Amazon and watch Netflix and smoke their legal pot, they didn't give a care.
