Don’t let the cynics and idiots get to you. You are right.
I remind people here, often to their irritation, that Mussolini was not defeated and dragged out of his headquarters by a plucky band of diverse rebels with a vibrant mix of skillsets… he was arrested and handed over to the opposition party by his own king and the Italian government. While a lot of that had to do with the allies rampaging across occupied Europe, it also came from a lot of internal pressure and the existing government knowing that their situation was unsustainable.
Nobody wants to rebuild a government, it’s not that fucking easy, no matter how many utterly childish lemmy kids and redditors scream and rant about “revolutions” we still have hundreds of millions of Americans who are comfortable and uninterested in going out and getting shot for abstract reasons. A lot of people advocating for, or predicting some kind of violent revolution have zero understanding of the sheer scale of the USA, along with how complicated the politics are when it’s not one big nation but 50 smaller ones.
