The french revolution got way out of control at the end. They were just blood crazed and killed their own leaders when they tried to stop them going crazy.
Besides they got a crappy democracy that turned into dictator, Napoleon.
If you have to revolt, revolt for a Constitutional Republic.
Before we got to the point where we could have a Constitution and Nice Things, we had to put a boot on the necks of the Tories. There was a fun game Patriots used to play with Tories called the Spigot. It involved a nail or bare spike, and the bare foot of a Tory. The smart ones either got out of the country to Canada or the UK, or learned to shut their mouths and keep a low profile. Norfolk Naval Base? Norfolk was a hive of Tory traitors, so Patriot militia spent a week systematically burning the town to the ground. Then Congress appropriated the land for a navy yard.
After that, we had a Constitutional Republic.
“If you have to revolt, revolt for a Constitutional Republic.”
we did that once. Now we need to rinse, flush, and repeat from scratch.
