Revolution in the US is completely unrealistic and a waste of time to worry about. There are not enough unemployed young men in the US for revolution to be even a remote concern. Revolutions happen in places with large proportions of teenagers relative to people over 35.

There are very, very few people in the US who would be able to participate in a revolution, as they all have families, commitments, debt, and jobs. While an uptick in isolated incidents is definitely worth being concerned about, sustained violence is wildly improbable. The time to get worried is if you start seeing Great Depression (25%) levels of unemployment. That's the time to worry.
