Yeah, I mostly listen to death metal so I'll just see myself out.

Nah man. The democratic party is billed as left wing. Some Americans believe that. A ton of us know that is false and are actually left wing but don't have great options to vote for.

I was agreeing with you dude by joking about something equally absurd. Chill out.

If Madami invites Vanilla Ice to perform the Ninja Rap he will become the most important politician in American history.

Idiot. Did you forget that we invaded China years ago and have been in a brutal land war with them? Duh.

That's it, we're moving to Syria.

I agree with all of that in its entirety, the world was a much different and considerably smaller place.

To play devil's advocate though, there is potential for the right person or persons to harness social media to draw historical attention to one. I don't think this will happen, and it would turn into a giant mess of a media shitstorm, but it is an interesting idea to think about.

That's a good question but there's a lot of mythos behind it that I'd have to write a paper for.

An easy example is that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity and worshipped as God's incarnation on Earth. Muslims and Jews categorically refute this in its entirety, meaning the only thing they share is the Abrahamic god.

No it sounds like a ballin hair metal band.

Our government is not as fun as a ballin hair metal band.

There are some pretty big ones that did work though. The Women's Suffrage movement in the US successfully used a hunger strike to force Woodrow Wilson's hand and he was put in a position where he had no choice but to cave to the movement.

That's incorrect though. Catholics, Protestants, Methodists, etc are sects of Christianity, the broader body of the religion. Judaism and Islam are their own religions (albeit Abrahamic in origin), with Sunni/Shia being sects of Islam for example.

These ideas still work in smaller nations, but the idea of the American public toppling the US government in 2025 is absurd. Even if you ignore that we're completely incapable of finding commons goals as a nation, you're still being turned to pink mist by a drone while you're waving your assault rifle you bought at Wal-Mart around on your front lawn.

And if you add in what I ommitted, its impossible. We can't even get over half our population to stop supporting pedophilia, there's no way they're coming together for a revolution.

This would just turn into a years long, brutal, violent inaurgency with probably several civil wars occurring at the same time as fighting the government.
