Vive La French Revolution 2.0 – And Our Own!
Townhall.com ^ | December 10, 2018 | Kurt Schlichter

Yeah, I know conservatives are not supposed to be excited about change and disruption and actually accomplishing things, but you look at what the French people are doing and you have to think, “You tell those elitist jerks what’s what, Pierre!”

Those feisty frogs are sick and tired of being forced to sacrifice their francs (yeah, I know they use euros, but “franc” has a “k” sound so it’s funnier) on the carbon tax altar to Gaia, the false demigod worshipped by the smart set congregation of the creepy weather cult. Impoverish the peasants today to maybe make it a half degree cooler in 200 years? Non, monsieur! These angry French workers need that money for wine today!

Now, the protesting Parisians aren’t conservatives in the American sense – lots of their demands have a lefty vibe. But what they do share with us is how the abuse les deplorables have suffered mirrors the abuse America’s increasingly militant Normals have put up with. The French elite has kept dumping on them for decades, impoverishing them through economic mismanagement, cronyism, and corruption, changing their culture without bothering to ask permission through unlimited Third World immigration, and taxing them to increase elite wealth while stripping them of a say in their own government.

Sound familiar?

Take away the cheese, the berets, and the ridiculous accents, then subtract Donald Trump, and what’s going down in France would be going down here. The difference is that we revolted at the ballot box. The French elected an insider who despises the people, and he carried the elite’s water. They had no choice but to submit or to take to the streets. In contrast, we elected an outsider who despises the elite. After all, Trump knows the elite intimately – they used to suck up to him for cash and he has nothing but contempt for their greed, incompetence and weakness.

We didn’t have to take to the streets to be heard. We had Trump tweeting on our behalf. He is our bad orange man riot.

But now the elite, with the aid of its catamite media and the Fredocon quisling crew, is doing everything it can to destroy this threat – the threat posed by us Normal people demanding a say in how our country is run.

So, what happens next? Bad stuff – and the dumber members of the elite will tell you their plans if you only listen. If you think our American elite is going to suddenly rediscover its obligation to work on behalf of Normals instead of using them as livestock, you haven’t been paying attention to just how arrogant and stupid our ruling class is. Look at their no-holds-barred quest to delegitimize and eliminate the challenge to their social grift posed by Donald Trump. But fortunately, he’s still there – no 67 senators are going to vote to impeach him because he paid off a couple of aging bimbos and, through some bizarre interpretation of “campaign finance laws” (which never seem to apply to the elite’s favorites), this is somehow THE WORST CRIME EVER TREASON EMOLUMENTS COLLUSION and MORE TREASON.

Remember when tacky sex wasn’t supposed to be an impeachable offense? Well, that was yet another special rule for establishment types. It doesn’t apply to someone the Normals elected. That there are so clearly two sets of laws in this country, one for them and one for us, is gasoline on the bonfire that our crappy elite has made out of the principles that provide the foundation of the great nation they inherited and that they are in the process of ruining. To the elite, they have to destroy this country to save it – for themselves.

While what’s happening in France has already happened here, in peaceful form, it may not stay peaceful. Until now, Trump voters have been our yellow vest people; they rioted on Election Day. But our genius betters, via a corrupt Department of Justice, want to take that peaceful outlet away, and they are seeking to do via the Mueller witch hunt what they couldn’t do by cheating at the polls.

This leaves Normals no good options – submission or resistance. And our version of resistance, thanks to culture, geography and the Second Amendment, is much uglier than the Snooty-Waiterland model. The French have over-priced gas they can pour into their many, many empty cabernet bottles. We Americans? Well, we have 300 million-plus guns.

That’s scary. Our elite needs to back down instead of doubling down, but with leaders as unwise and malignant as Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit, is that realistic? Do you think any of our alleged superiors truly understand that Normals are not just going to give up participating in their own governance? If our elite betters actually got out of their kale-loving coastal enclaves once in a while, they might realize that.

But our stupid elite is so intent on retaining its own power, like France’s elite is, that it will make disruption inevitable. What form will this coming chaos take? Not a happy one, that’s for sure. I’ve written about it in my novel People’s Republic – the USA could very well split apart into two countries, one red and one blue. It’s prequel Indian Country shows what could happen in response to violent leftist repression. Now my third novel about America after it splits apart has dropped. Check out Wildfire and see what could very well happen if we fail to defend our freedom against our vicious elite that, like the deposed French Bourbon aristocracy, has learned nothing and forgotten nothing.

There was a big difference between the american and french revolutions.

It's why the Left/Deep State has been trying to go after the guns.
Take Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' threat to Donald Trump Jr., and multiply that by other Democrats/Left wing who may not be as stupid to telegraph their intent.
The only thing that is keeping them from acting on that intent is the knowledge that they could very well get shot by the people they are harassing.

I am not much for reading novels. Too much fluff that tries to entertain. Just give me the facts.

That being said, I have tried to imagine how CWII would actually come about and can not see how it would be done.

If states seceded, the result will be the same as the first CW. And I do not see any state that is sufficiently homogenous to secede.

If it becomes a guerilla campaign, then it goes on forever with the slow demise of the country, eventually ending in a totalitarian government.

Thoughts?

Two point oh?
No, this is more like the thirteenth.
This might turn out to be one of the bloodier ones, however.

I too have trouble seeing how it would be done, but I still think we're on that trajectory.

BTW, I consider it RWII instead of CWII, but I guess it depends on who wins.

We’re not going to have a civil war while the EBTs recharge and cable TV and internet is up. That is the bread and circuses that keep our mob pacified.
But if we run out bread or circuses, it’s on.

If it happens it may be more like the Spanish CW.

Which is why the Left won't do this all at once. Everything is being done slowly, incrementally. They'll continue to neuter around the edges until such time they have reduced the opposition to a non-threatening state.

The French revolution was despicable. It’s to their shame that Thomas Jefferson and others in his party supported it.

This current protest against Macron may have been spurred by the gas tax but it ain’t no tea party. This people are gibmedats, plus students mad about harder tests or something.

I said this several days ago, that the yellow vests include several groups-—including hard core commies who want any demonstration any time as a means to take down any democratically elected gubment.

That said, I think this is a LOT more than “gimmedats.”

Although they aren’t saying so up front a great deal, I can’t help but think the Muslim invasion hasn’t also played a part.

But what is "it". People are willing to fight and die for what they believe in. If the people are fighting for EBT's, how does that make this a free nation?

Some historians claim that France helping to finance the American Revolution inspired the peasants’ thirst for freedom that fomented the bloody French Revolution.

The end of EBTs or Cable means the end of comfortable apathy. That is why the loss of either of two things will start the fighting.

There will be a lot of factions. The folks fighting ‘for’ EBT are looters and the people who derive power from the looters.

The simple answer is, we’re not free. Federal, State or Local intervenes in almost everything we do. The only thing we can point to is that we’re freer than most other nations.
