What we need is a Democratic Max de Robespierre

The Incorruptible. I don't know who that would be right now. Someone with zero patience and tolerance for corruption. Faux News would be less a problem than you think. With Rupert and Lachlan executed for Treason and the government seizing Fox under the Civil Asset Forfeiture laws, it could become a real news outlet with the government's point of view. Obviously the Supreme Court 6 would need to b impeached and removed and replaced by people who would overturn Citizen United, corporate psersonhood, religious invasion of the secular sphere and all lthe rest of the illiterate corrupt nonsense we've been subjected to over the l ast forty years. Make your nominations for our Tribune of the People here.

You do know he was executed at 36 by the same guillotine he championed, right?

Be careful what you wish for, OP.

So you prefer a 1984 news media.

You're quite mad. The government has never had a news channel before Fox took it upon themselves to lie foer the Republicans

OP, we need guillotines in every town square and a citizenry inflamed to the point of dragging oligarchs like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, the entire GOP and the bulk of the AIPAC-aligned members of the DNC from their beds and decapitating them one after another after another until the entire 1% and their lackeys are executed and the streets of America run red with their blood from sea to shining sea.

In the current situation this would result in red vs blue shooting each other. People carrying pout frequent terrorist attacks. And so on. Civil War. Which everyone online seems to want without realizing that Russia and China aren't going to sit back and do nothing if that happens. They will covertly supply both sides until anything left of the US is no longer a threat.

BTW, Robespierre is a cautionary tale.

So what we have now, except Dems fighting back. Good.

[quote]People carrying pout frequent terrorist attacks

This is already happening. They're called mass shootings and they're almost always a wingnut targeting women, gays or minorities.

The horse has already left the pen, R8. The toothpaste isn't going back in the tube. We're already past the point where a peaceful resolution is possible. That ship sailed at some point before January 6th and that was almost 5 years ago.

Civil war is inevitable now.

Not in the mood I'm in. Think of Ivanka as the Princess Lamballe.
