Trump Suggests French Revolution Is Finally Hitting America

Trump’s Support Suggests The French Revolution Is Finally Hitting America

…. The French Revolution and the Trump campaign are marked by an acute loss of restraint while demanding a redress of legitimate grievances ….

“Is the conflict between Donald Trump and the GOP establishment for the heart of the Republican Party really like the French Revolution? Carl Icahn, in an interview with Neil Cavuto at the tail end of Super Tuesday, certainly suggested so. Ichan’s comments bear a ring of truth. Irritated Trump supporters are pursuing the model of the French Revolution while trying to cast the GOP establishment as the ancient regime. The French Revolution was undone by its excesses and its loss of restraint, both of which also characterize the Trump campaign.

Icahn asserted this election is the first time people in the Republican Party are finally speaking out in big numbers. He continued, “Now you have this establishment that says ‘We want to keep it here.’ It’s really like the last days before the French Revolution. And it’s sort of insane.” Historically speaking, Trump’s supporters are eerily similar to the sans-culottes, the common people of the lower class in eighteenth-century France who became radical militants of the French Revolution and sought to destroy the existing social and political order………….

Hear the call for Trump “Second Amendment Solution” revolution………..
Does this signal the over-throw of a legal elected democratic government? A leap backwards into “Third World Country” politics?
 
Next you're gonna hear people start calling Trump a 'moderate'.

Not sure why more insults from establishment types should be considered rational.

Some may see the discussion of what the term recently introduced by Trump et.al. as an insult……. whereas those who wonder are looking for answers………however Trump et.al. refuse to expand on what the term refers to and/or what it means………and dodge questions about “Second Amendment solutions” ………. A term used by Trump in his stump speech several times……….
For myself, I believe Trump to be a threat to our nation’s well-being and stability…….

To be informed is better than to being surprised........IMHO

I completely agree that to be informed is better than being surprised. However, one should think carefully about what they consider to be informed by.

Clearly, misinformation and propaganda like the laughable content in the OP illustrates some are a long way from achieving anything approaching "informed".

Perhaps it would be best to label content like that as a form of "being told" rather than a means of "getting informed". Some can only operate under the former, and seem to have little understanding of the latter.

Thinking it a joke is not responsive to the question raised...........and should not be dismissed out of hand just because one does not like thinking what things mean........and as I recall not liking "being told"............of which the question the opinion piece does not even suggest .............is at times considered an inmature way to look at the world......Present company of course excluded....

My suggestion is to reread the entire article before jumping off head first.......

I read it and my opinion has been offered, as well as my observation. It should not be dismissed out of hand just because one does not like understanding what is being said.

There is no question to who has it backwards. That should leave both of us in the clear....
 
I thought that the French Revolution has already hit the US. The totalitarians who have taken over have begun eating their own. The reign of terror has begun. Those people who fought for liberty, equality, and fraternity have turn on each other. And Trump represents the Thermidorian Reaction.
