You're forgetting a few things Peachy, unlike the French the majority of Americans are prosperous, second most of us are happy with our unpaid president, third most of us including this 65 year old grandma are well armed and finally the majority of our military and law enforcement are on the RIGHT side. If all the demoncraps were so eager to overthrow our nation they wouldn't have to pay protestors and look at the quality of their protestors, fat, stoned, mentally ill especially their trannie crowd. We are not the endlessly failed French. We have plenty of idiots in the US but they don't love America and they don't have the balls to actually face their opposition. They are sneaks and cowards with their masks, costumes and drugg addicted mobs. They come to my house and they will get acquainted with my 12 gage that I have aimed at invaders since I was nine. I will die for my country, they won't. They may create some damage and chaos but payback is hell when you finally push patriotic Americans over the line.
Mr. Glockenspiel and his roommate are wise individuals. Misters Smith and Wesson live in my nightstand and a very elderly four shot Mr. Derringer live comfortably in my purse.
I grew up on a ranch on the border. Between rattlers and illegals we had defense mechanisms in virtually every room. None of the illegals were ever injured but several rattlers met their maker.
The French revolution was not a mass movement. It was (as nearly always) led by "students". The Russian revolution was the same. Lenin was educated and came from a good family. Bolshevik means "majority" in Russian, but his faction got the label by trickery; he never represented a majority of anything. Neither did Robespierre. The students manning the Paris barricades were always a minority; most of France just kept their heads down. (Tale of Two Cities covers this well.)
Peter Turchin says "students" tend to lead revolutions when the elite class is too crowded and they become "frustrated elite aspirants" (Turchin's term). That's what's happening now. We've been turning out college grads faster than we can use them.
Our "establishment uniparty" elites are being replaced on both the Left and Right. That's not a problem as long as it remains intra-faction (inside each party). What worries me is that the Left seems interested in pulling a Lenin or Robespierre and trying to go, not for leadership of their faction, but for destruction of the entire democratic system.
Was surprised to find out last week that a couple of my (over 65) midwestern in-laws were planning to participate in their local "No Kings" event. They proudly bragged about it on Facebook and received the You-Go-Girl treatment from their "friends" there. I can guarantee you that if some conservative You Tuber had stuck a microphone in their faces and asked them what the heck they thought they were protesting, they wouldn't have been able to provide an answer. Seems clear to me they were doing nothing more than going along with the Hate-Trump crowd, virtue-signaling in their way, and coming out the other end thinking they had done something VERY GOOD and VERY BRAVE. Wish they could read Peachy's column and wake up from their delusions. (As IF!) But who knows, in the service of promoting family disharmony, maybe I will send it off to them.
Just a reminder, Robespierre ultimately met with the same fate he had dished out to others; the guillotine.
It was long before Trump ever ran for president that I recognized that progressive idiotology is a cult. By definition, a cultist follows blindly, and refuses to apply any intelligence to what they are doing.
I’m a huge fan of corporal Vance myself! This administration is the greatest I have ever experienced as an adult. Every cabinet member is like their own superhero. This assembly of greatness harkens back to our founding.
Our bench is so strong, they are filled with aging boomers and histrionic, single millennial girls. I won’t call them women, they’re not mature enough.
Remember, when Chris Matthews said something to the effect of, “Obama gives me shivers down my leg…”
Your post just did that to me! I think you’re right. I’d also throw Tulsi Into the mix. She might be the only female politician I’ve seen in my lifetime that I would trust as POTUS.
Sadly, and truthfully, it might take until 2053 to undo all the damage Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter, Obama, Biden, Clinton, the Bushes Dead to our nation.
Let’s be clear here, the French Revolution overthrew the aristocracy (and ushered in a new aristocracy, of course), but these No Kings things are aimed at preserving the aristocracy and suppressing the working classes.
Peachy, I am truly frightened. Not for myself. I’ve lived a pretty long, productive life and I’m not completely well. I’m frightened for those that will be harmed before these idiots can be stopped. I don’t know what those crackpot Q-tip hippies are up to and in the words it our favorite president,”I don’t think they do either”. But the evil behind them knows. And evil frightens me.
I have no doubt you’re correct. My point isn’t that these clueless, faithless, uneducated, morons on the left fantasize about a revolution, my point is that the unprepared, weak minded, disorganized, college grad crowd will certainly do what they can to create chaos and destruction but they have no concept of being truly invested in our lives, nation, faith and families. As a mother of three sons I am fully invested in this nation continuing successfully and as our founding fathers envisioned. I will happily meet my maker if necessary to defeat these spoiled, stupid children and their ‘organizers’.
This is not a new situation. I was a long time finishing my degree. I spent a lot of time moving from training horses to going to college. I disliked college and the continual dishonesty of higher education. Finally in the late 80s, my late 20s, I went back and finished my degree so I could teach high school. I was astonished at how much the college students had changed from being people who had at least some kind of goal to being snotty, entitled, barely literate brats. My college experience was framed by the tail end of the flower child, free love 60s hippies to the entitled, directionless, “I’m a liberal but I don’t know why” brats spending thousands on useless degrees.
This current crop of idiots are not invested in faith, family or future. They don’t even know what they’re angry about other than being conned into a worthless college degree. Yes, if they find their Robespierre they will do a lot of damage but they will not win and their spineless characters will lead them to surrender. They don’t have the motivation or misguided investment that the confederates had but they also don’t have the courage or conviction of the confederates. What they will face is people like me, my sons and thousands of Charlie Kirks who will not bow down or acquiesce to their violent, unreasoned tantrum. They are on the side of lies and people won’t die for lies. Those of us who believe in God, family and this great nation will give our lives to save America. That includes one mean old woman in Arizona who is well armed and has spent her life working with 800 lb animals with small brains.
You are welcome to follow your illegal alien buddies back into Mexico. In the meantime, you might meet an illegal alien that was handed a CDL by a Blue state governor, that can't speak English and can't read road signs. They drive like idiots and kill and maim people on the roads. Of course, you guys won't protest that

Mr. Glock lives with me at my house and he would not be very happy if a bunch of mentally ill lefties showed up at my house

Great summary! Thanks.

Do it!
You go, girl!

But this was after he botched his own suicide attempt. Imagine that: a communard not even being able to do the work of killing himself!
People on the left screaming for violence have no clue that the right has been exercising their 2nd Amendment rights for years.

Some combination of Vance, Rubio, and DeSantis in the White House will take the US to 2053.

Yes, I like Tulsi very much, especially after reading her autobiography before the election.
Note to panicky Peachy-We have 500,000,000 firearms, and the proletariat suppprts the regime this time, not the revolutionaries.
Why show cattle pictures, along with Charlie Kirk. Those heifers look close to auction date!
