Our form of Revolution occurs non violently every even year in November. Which is one more reason to respect the workers' who argued among themselves and finally agree and signed the COTUS.
What Trump and his followers fear, is democracy. We the People have an ingrained sense of when change is necessary, and we are a force in making change.
November last is an example of a revolution done in peace by a generation of women and men who lost hope when hate, fear, greed and a callous disregard for the masses became the policies of the 115th Congress.
Here is a theory on why the election in Nov. 2018 was in fact a revolution:
J-curve hypothesis | sociology and political science
From the link:
"J-curve hypothesis, also called Davies’ J-curve, in sociology and political science, theory that attempts to identify the reasons behind the collective rebellion of individuals who are perceived as victims of injustice. The J-curve hypothesis was introduced in 1962 by American sociologist James C. Davies, who believed that social and political unrest was precipitated by a brief period of sharp decline in economic development after a prolonged period of economic growth and improvement.
"According to Davies’s hypothesis, persistent economic growth and advance lead to the development of psychological expectations that conditions will continue to improve. When such expectations are suddenly thwarted, individuals experience an intolerable gap between what they have come to expect and the realities of their circumstances. At this point, individuals are most likely to engage in collective revolutionary activity."
