Revolution? Yes. Violent? I don't think so. We'll probably see a major shift in the demands made of the government over the next 20 years, however. Pressure will mount to hold the government accountable as the old and complacent geezers die off to make room for the younger, sharper, more interconnected crowd. The death rattles of the baby boomers will be the sigh of relief for the rest of us. The government will try to get away with more shit [as it's already trying to do], people will start getting pissed off, but rather than violence, as history has always advocated, change will come in the form of people simply changing their ways. Expect numbers of conservatives to continue a slow but steady decline, the slow but also steady rise of progressive ideologies, and the government to start being comprised of people who give more of a shit about their constituents as people stop voting based on party lines and rhetoric and more on issues and common sense.
The world's in a unique position. It's never before had such rapid exchange of ideas so readily and easily available. That'll play a huge factor in how politics across the world play out.
