There is a lesson that oppressors throughout the history of our world never seem to learn until it’s too late: If you push your people to a breaking point and they literally have nothing left to lose, that’s the surest way to get them to rebel.
In fact, that’s how America was born: The English king, George, kept pushing the British colonists to their breaking point with his punitive laws and taxes until they rebelled against him.
And speaking of the American Revolution, there may be a new one brewing, at least in deep blue states were Democratic governors and mayors refuse to let up on their restrictive COVID-19 lockdowns, which are literally starving people to death, according to one California small business owner who has had it with the authoritarianism.

A military veteran in Northern California expressed the frustration of many when he addressed elected leaders in a recent public hearing over California’s business and social lockdowns.
Carlos Zapata, who owns a martial arts studio in Redding, took the Shasta County Board of Supervisors to task at a public forum this month, saying the coronavirus restrictions are threatening the lives of his and other families.
“At first we sat as concerned citizens, and we all wanted to best figure out how to navigate our way through this COVID thing,” he said. “As we realized that it’s not as quite as dangerous as we thought it would be, I was absolutely appalled.”
“I’m a business owner and I’m telling you, our families are starving,” he continued. “You guys can sit here with your jobs — you’re going to sit here and get paid to fall asleep in your chair like that gentleman’s doing behind his mask right there.”
“I don’t blame you for wearing masks because I would be hiding my face if I was you for what you’re doing,” he added.
Zapata, one of about 100 people who showed up at the Shasta County meeting, then issued a warning.
“Right now we’re being peaceful, and you better be happy we’re good citizens, but it’s not going to be peaceful much longer. And this isn’t a threat — I’m not a criminal. But I’m telling you real good citizens are going to turn into revolutionary citizens real soon,” said the Iraq war combat vet.
He then said he knew of six vets that have committed suicide after losing their jobs.
“How do you feel about being complicit and perpetuating that — the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on the American people?”
One person who claimed to be at the meeting said most people in the GOP-leaning county feel the same way – they want their livelihoods back.

However, if they aren’t ‘allowed’ to get them back, things are going to get ugly in a hurry.
No one who is sane advocates violence. We live in a civil society (unless, of course, you’re in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, or New York). But Democrats should heed this warning: If you continue to oppress Americans, we’ll rebel at some point. It’s just in our blood.
