I mean unfortunately, as with the rest of the constitution, it’s up to the courts (ultimately the Supreme Court) to interpret, and the majority will never condone revolution, no matter how corrupt or ineffective the government becomes.

I think not many people realize that if the American Revolution was unsuccessful, the founding fathers would have been hanged for treason. It’s nice to have that given to us as a “right”, but with no means to enforce that right it may as well not exist at all. As time goes on I become more and more convinced that the founding fathers were exactly like Elon Musk- greedy, selfish, and out to brainwash the populace into doing their bidding. Many were wealthy slave owners, after all.
