Most of us reached our tipping point long before the jury-rigged selection of Elmer Fudd as resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I reached mine in 2006 when George W. Bush tried to push amnesty. I went to the 2009 march against DeathCare in the vain hope that politicians would listen and do right. They didn’t listen, they didn’t read, they didn’t care.
Once, I had hoped that people of different political, social and economics could/would relocate and solidify their positions. That was as futile as expecting politicians to do right.
Then I believed that Civil War would break out, resulting in partition of the country. I thought that the partition would eliminate Versailles on the Potomac as an interference, a cancer, a destroyer.
Today, I fear a French-style revolution complete with guillotines is what looms ahead for us. And is really the only hope to stop the destruction and devastation.
The politicians we keep reelecting are NOT going to change until they are forced to change. If we elect somebody else, when they arrive in Versailles on the Potomac, their brain, heart and soul are replaced with a parasite.

I had similar concerns and hit the books to study the French Revolution in detail. It turns out there were perhaps 4 revolutions within the big revolution. Always present within the Free Republic like disagreement over minor points within the whole was Paris. The people of Paris were a driving force that sort of drug the others along. They all opposed the fact there was nothing to eat and inflation was terrible.
In America, today, the detritus in the cities favor the tyrant. They have no problems with eating because plentiful food is free. And, if there is no job, then after eating the free food, there is sex to produce more food and stuff.
In America, rather than discontent about scarcity, there is discontent over redistribution. The discontent is not however concentrated like it was in Paris. There is no Church to be destroyed as a taxer of resources. There is no critical mass. There is no ongoing war of survival with neighbors.
But most important of all. But shining out as a prime mover there is no philosophical enlightenment, no Voltaire, no Rousseau . There is no leader.
Lastly there was an end in France that was actually a beginning.His name was Napoleon.
