    I looked at a list of the people who took over immediately after the French revolution, and it looks very much like a bunch of aristocrats used a mob to take over.

    It certainly wasn’t handed over to the likes of you and me.

    You can see this being emulated right now by people like Trump. “The people won’t stand for it”, “there’ll be civil war”, etc. If Jan 6th was more than a rabble of trailer trash dumbfucks, they might even have been talking about it the same way by now…
