The Revolution Devours its Children

"Revolutions eat their children." This observation, by a journalist during the French Revolution, was only partly true. In reality, revolutions eat their parents.

Both are true. We are seeing the parents devoured, we will soon see the children devoured. I offered a few days ago that Trump’s reelection is certain, assuming he runs again. The left will out-looney themselves on the debate stage, and any semi-normal democrats will run screaming – voting for either Trump, a third party, or not at all.

A couple of days later, Tom Luongo offers: Democrats Begin Eating Themselves Prepping for 2020:

Ideological possession always ends in pogroms. When the leadership of the most powerful organization in the world is at stake nothing is off limits, especially for power-hungry Democrats.

This is why we’re now seeing a concerted effort to smear Bernie Sanders just after he announced his Presidential campaign for 2020. The Democrats blame him for splitting the party in 2016 which allowed Trump to win.

The response was predictable. The American left lost its collective mind in November 2016.

Your clue that things have reached that point is none other than everyone’s media darling, Marxist lunatic Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez.

Howard Schultz threatens that he will run for president in 2020; the thought is that he will run as an independent. Democrats are worried that he will take votes from their candidate. Trump plays this perfectly, challenging Schultz’ manhood via twitter:

Howard Schultz doesn’t have the “guts” to run for President! Watched him on @60Minutes last night and I agree with him that he is not the “smartest person.” Besides, America already has that! I only hope that Starbucks is still paying me their rent in Trump Tower!

Even Hillary is considering another run; the more the merrier – one big party.

"Clinton is telling people that she's not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020," Zeleny said. "I'm told by three people that as recently as this week, she was telling people that look, given all this news from the indictments, particularly the Roger Stone indictment, she talked to several people, saying 'look, I'm not closing the doors to this.'"

Now even Facebook, Google and Microsoft – the darlings of the left – are being devoured by none other than AOC:

We are writing to you today in light of the important role that your companies play as we prepare to take comprehensive action on climate change. …we were deeply disappointed to see that your companies were high-level sponsors of a conference this month in Washington D.C., known as LibertyCon, that included a session denying established science on climate change.

We are more than a year away from the party nominations. The left is going to consume itself. It may happen much sooner than thought possible even a few short days ago.

Thanks Sopater.

Just like socialist think they are so smart that they can make it work this time, folks espousing revolution forget the parents are almost always devoured by it.
