Some citizens are advocating for a complete overhaul of the current situation, in short a revolution. Others are focused on restoring America to its former glory. Which camp are you in? (comments below)
Recent remarks made by Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, have sparked intense discussion and disagreement from various viewpoints. During an appearance on Real America's Voice's "War Room," Roberts boldly stated the United States is currently undergoing what he describes as a "second American Revolution." His comments came after a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, a decision he sees as a significant win for the conservative movement.

The response from media, pundits, and politicians with differing viewpoints has been one of concern and strong disagreement. They view Roberts' remarks as a rallying cry, posing a risk to the established political system. The strong response highlights the significant divisions in American society and the importance of the ongoing ideological conflict.
Roberts urged his audience to explore the writings of Alexander Hamilton, specifically Federalist No. 70, in order to understand the historical and constitutional importance of a strong executive branch. He emphasized the importance of comprehending these foundational texts in order to fully grasp the significance of presidential immunity and the wider ramifications of recent judicial rulings.
"I am an early American historian and have a deep appreciation for the Constitution," Roberts expressed. The recent Supreme Court ruling on immunity holds significant importance for various reasons. But I would recommend Federalist No. 70. If individuals in the audience are searching for a captivating read during the Independence Day weekend, aside from revisiting the Declaration of Independence, I recommend delving into Hamilton's No. 70.
Roberts portrayed the present political climate as a crucial struggle for the essence of America, emphasizing the conservative faction is making progress. "The reason that some individuals are extremely upset right now, the reason certain news anchors, for example, are expressing strong emotions on a daily basis is because our perspective is prevailing," he asserted.
In his closing statements, Roberts proposed maintaining peace during what he referred to as a "Second American Revolution" would be possible if the left avoids escalating tensions. "We are currently experiencing what could be considered a significant turning point in American history, one that has the potential to be resolved peacefully if all parties involved are willing to cooperate," he stated. Some people have interpreted this comment as a reassurance of a peaceful transfer of power, while others view it as a subtle warning.
There was an immediate and intense backlash. Figures such as Marianne Williamson and commentators from Media Matters expressed their strong disapproval online, interpreting Roberts' statement as a concerning provocation. The Biden Campaign and other Democratic voices expressed their disapproval, characterizing the rhetoric as provocative and possibly causing instability.
Roberts' comments resonate with a wider sentiment held by numerous individuals who lean towards a more traditional perspective, expressing a sense of disempowerment and a belief in the necessity for a change in direction for the nation. They make the case that the Declaration of Independence provides justification for the removal of an oppressive government and the creation of a more responsive one that prioritizes the welfare of the people.
As the political landscape continues to change, it's worth considering whether America is experiencing a significant shift or if these claims are exaggerated reactions to political changes. It is evident the nation is currently at a critical juncture, with significant ideological differences that do not appear to be diminishing. The coming months and years will determine whether these bold sentiments result in enduring transformation or simply become forgotten in the realm of political discourse.
Final Word: IMHO – Second Revolution, NO. The first revolution was a fight against England and the King. A foreign power lording over the Colonies. This is not the case here. Presently, it would be accurate if the political distress were compared to the Civil War where States fought States.
This I disagree with as well, so my answer is – NO.
BUT internal and national conflicts to the point of military action, YES! The Progressives will riot to the point America will fall into chaos if Trump is elected. However, if the Biden replacement is elected the Right MAGAs will also protest but with very little public force and in a much deeper way......

I endorse this statement.
Naturally fixing it would be preferable, but if not possible a revolution is doable!
I agree that we are approaching a revolution. I think that, since the 1960's, this country has been moving consistently and resolutely away from its founding principles. The Left has slowly and stealthily taken over almost every institution. The world "revolve" is from the same root as the word "revolution". In fact, a "revolution" can also mean a turning around of something, as in "the wheel made four revolutions before stopping". I think it is time to make a revolution back to the values, moral clarity and justice that our founding fathers set forth for us. Here is one definition of "revolution": - In political science, a revolution is a rapid, fundamental transformation of a society's state, class, ethnic or religious structures. A revolution involves the attempted change in political regimes, substantial mass mobilization, and efforts to force change through non-institutionalized means.(Merriam-Webster Dictionary) - By this definition, yes, we are heading towards a revolution. This revolution is as potentially consequential as the revolution of 1776. If the Left wins, our nation, born to test the premise that people can be self-governing, will have failed. There will be nothing left for us but totalitarian despotism, oppression and failure. If the Right wins, we will restore the dream of our founders, save the country which has been the greatest nation ever to inhabit this planet; what Lincoln termed "the last best hope of earth". Our hope is that our new revolution will be bloodless, will be fought with words and ideas rather than violence, and in courts rather than in the streets. Only time will tell. God Bless America.
This is not our government. It is not and has not been representation by elected representatives. We have been ruled, condemned, harassed and imprisoned by agency tyrants. We are being poisoned and have been poisoned since the 1st jxx. Our schools, media, advertising and messaging are constructs of not only the deep state CIA and MIC, but also of and by globalists. The sheriff's are nowhere to be found. They are as quiet as librarians, leaving us to hang one way or the other. The 2020 was pure orchestrated fraud and usurpation by global ds. Meanwhile selected bravehearts such as Trump, Bannon, informed doctors, J6. Jack Phillips and others, such as Massie, stand strong. And now his wife is "dead." Really? While pelosi, schumer, 0, big Mike, the squad, AIPAC., etc.etc., roam free to show whatever threats and incitements as can fill their ugly loud mouths. On this 4th of July let us dig deep into what the Declaration says and represents. And please pray for v this nation to return to God in a fearless way. Let Us Stand. Strong and Mighty by pen or by sword. Both work, especially together.
Thank you Jea9, YES! we must work together! Have a happy 4th!
Happy 4th of July to both of you, and may God help us!! Between the terrorists entering from the south and the domestic terrorists in the Democrat party, we need all the help we can get.
Same to you, Sir.
You, too. Steve. And to everyone else in here and to your families and friends and fellow Patriots. Thanks for all you and the other Admins for all you do every day. I think I can speak for all of us that we are grateful for this forum.
👍indeed and may we all enjoy a peaceful, blessed Independance day!
