    if you think there’s been nothing significant achieved by American citizens against the government over the past 250 years.

    As I very clearly said in my comment, I’m specifically talking about US foreign policy (aka imperialism), and historically the best Americans have been able to do is make their military leave after bombing everything to the ground. Maybe you have a different idea but I don’t consider Iraq or Vietnam to be success stories for the American public, and again those are the very best Americans have been able to do.

      To no effect if the last checks notes 250 years or US foreign policy are any indication.

      As you clearly said in your comment, 250 years or US foreign policy.

      There have also been a couple of world wars that the US has assisted in in the past 250 years that I would consider success stories, it wasn’t just Vietnam and Iraq.
