As much as I'd like every American to pick up a gun and end this corrupt government, as intended, it simply isn't going to happen.

Same with a general strike. A general strike would bring this government to its knees and in a non-violent way. Never gonna happen though. You can't achieve that kind of solidarity.

Plus, what happens after a theoretical revolution happens? Hopefully there's another structure already planned out and ready to go or you get a power vacuum and things get even worse.
