In the revolution the sons of liberty would gather outside tax collectors’ homes and tell them to stop collecting taxes for king George or we will immolate your family in your house. The torches impressed upon them the seriousness of the situation.

The US state has never been accountable. You just didn't see any need to hold it to account before.

Historically, mostly, they suffer under oppression. Years upon years of suffering and violence, unwritten and unremembered, a tidal wave of tragedy.

It's already happening. When the elite are no longer bound by law, the masses are no longer bound by social contract.

The pre-revolutionaries were pretty keen on tarring and feathering judges, and then burning their houses down.

I believe JFK said something about this kind of situation. Though he referred to it as "peaceful revolution" at the time. Still, I think the point stands.

I keep telling myself that most of the people who have ever lived on this planet spent their entire lives under some form of authoritarian or totalitarian government with no political accountability.

Break out the guillotines. Fit them all fer cement shoes, and give them a one-way ticket to the Marianas Trench. If yer REALLY lucky, the Rapture is a real thing, and will take them all away. Otherwise, feed 'em all t'pigs.

As a serious answer, the spectrum of political action ranges from genial New England town hall meetings where people are represented by self or others on matters important. The other end is terrorism, where people make themselves heard by violence. Only question, where are we now?
