    Lets be real, France didn’t have a great track record of picking winning leaders.

    So in our store-brand French revolution, we’re probably gonna go through quite a few Robespierres.

      I keep pointing out that it took 15 years from France getting rid of a king to giving the exact same powers to an emperor.

      People seem to think the guillotines came out and everyone’s problems were solved. Just like they seem to think if a few CEOs get assassinated, corporations will put people over profits.
