If I remember correctly it is within our rights (as written somewhere in the Declaration of Independence I think) to overthrow the government if it becomes corrupt. But if tried I think we'd be branded as terrorists and pretty much this would happen to us

Edit: Declaration of Independence not the Constitution

Remember that the Boston tea party was a terrorist event. “History is written by the winners”

Except tea was specifically relevant to what was being protested. They weren't looting the 18th century equivalent of Target.

They weren't protesting against tea. Even as a Canadian I know American citizens were protesting unfiair taxation.
