Yes John Adams warned us; and no, we are not heeding the warning.

As Machiavelli might have pointed out, the despot always lives in fear of a popular uprising, and has to trim his oppression, and form alliances within his own country to keep enough of his subjects loyal to maintain him in power. The mob has no such compunction, and no respect for the individual, as the French Revolution soon demonstrated. AOC is a modern day Jacobin, and has no idea of the forces she is toying with. When the mob gets the bit in its mouth, no one is safe.
