Almost all revolutions fail miserably and the authoritarians they opposed use it as an opportunity to enforce martial law and expand their power. Germany and Spain being prime examples, and particularly relevant given the parallels between Trump and Hitler's Gestapo.

Sometimes they succeed and give birth to even worse regimes, such as USSR, China, and Cuba.

Now look at what a successful revolution with a good outcome looks like: France. How did they do it? By organizing the entire population under their banner, and bankrupting the state, first.

Also disarmed the populous.

So you're saying that the Chinese, Russian, and Cuban revolutions were successful because they were disarmed? And that's why you want to arm the revolution in the USA?

I feel like you really just defeated yourself, honestly. Much like your idea of a protest will.

No they became authoritarian when they disarmed the populous....again go read a history book.
