Although it's somewhat comical it does raise the issue of who,
precisely, is going to revolt, and how.

It's a good question. Unfortunately it's far too late for us north
americans, and indeed most people in the world.

I had the experience in the 70s to be standing in a work pay line with
a number of coworkers, when one of the classic American haters started
mumbling about "revolution" because of the taxes out of his pay check.
He was standing next to an Iranian refugee who'd fled the Ayatollah
and likely the Shah's prisons too.

The Iranian turned and asked him "WHo's your state Senator? _ DO you
know?" Silence. "Who are you representatives?" Silence. "Who is on
your city council?"

"You don't even know what you would be rebelling against. Fool."

You don't need the name of the Sheriff or the killer to know that a
murder is wrong.

It made me realize most of America's discontents are ignorant of
government and disconnected. They haven't a clue what government
does. Their frustration is from the daily struggle to get by. They
have all this anger and no knowledge. The demagogs tap it from time
to time, but it is at it's heart ignorant and therefore unguided.

They assume that government will take care of its self as the people are
doing. Realizing that government is as incompetent as a two year old is
the first lesson everyone needs.
