I personally don't think it's possible to get a revolution going in the current climate. The general public is too content with the way things are and oblivious to the fact that there are actually better options out there for themselves. Contrary to what they say, they also actually enjoy the circus that's currently playing itself out. If they didn't, it wouldn't exist. Until something jarring knocks them off their couches and makes life unbearably uncomfortable, they'll continue living and voting as they do today. A revolution requires that the masses be unhappy. As long as beer, sports, tv, pretend news, and an imaginary presidential "election" exists that gives them the illusion that they're making a difference in the world, it's all going to stay the same.

I don't think you should feel hopeless though. You've obviously already revolted and in the end that's all that really matters. American society has this unfortunate belief that everything sucks if you're not on the same winning team as everyone else. Why do we have to feel that way? We should be happy that we're on our own team by ourselves and are doing what we believe is right for ourselves. We've no control over other people and trying to change all of their minds is futile. Throwing our hands up in the air and voting for the lesser of two evils or not voting at all is silly and causes harm to our own personal cause. Even if you believe government shouldn't exist, there's a candidate out there that represents that belief! Vote for that candidate and be happy you did everything you could. Let your conversations with others in the real world and on forums like this rub off on someone who may be on the fence. Let them see that after all the votes are tallied that there are a small number of folks out there that can think and act for themselves whom aren't afraid to break away from the pack and vote independently. Maybe that'll change a mind or two as well. But in the end, just be happy you were honest and true to yourself in your actions.
