[D-Maine] U.S. Senate candidate selects guillotine as ‘symbol of the work we have to do’ [ed]
Portland Press Herald ^ | February 6, 2020 | Rachel Ohm

A U.S. Senate candidate in Maine has selected an unusual logo for campaign T-shirts – the guillotine – citing the need for a revolution to remove big money from politics.

The logo, unveiled this week by Democrat Bre Kidman, recalls the execution device known for its role in the 18th century French Revolution and is intended to symbolize revolt by low- and middle-income people, Kidman said.

“The guillotine is an image which calls to mind what people have done for revolution before,” said Kidman, an attorney who’s running for the seat held by Republican Sen. Susan Collins. “If we can find a better path to revolution than that we owe it to ourselves and our country.”

I guess Ms. Kidman did not learn most of the victims of the Reign of Terror were poor peasants.

I think it’s a great idea. I’m pretty sure a lot of royalty and nobility lost their heads during the French revolution

They do not even try to hide who they really are anymore. If people are telling you they want to kill you it is wise to believe them.
If they ever gained control of the House, Senate, and Presidency with people like this in positions of national power we could very well see some very ugly times in this country.

Slo-Joe Biden responded by calling Democrat Bre Kidman a ‘Lying dog face pony rider’.

Yes. The guillotine reminds me that revolutionaries usually kill everybody they don't like.

The French Revolution eventually used the “national razor” on its initial organizers, like Robespierre, and the unrest gave rise to Napoleon.

Never bring a guillotine to a gunfight.....I don’t think she even has one but it signals her wishes towards us.

It could use one of those devices to rid itself of 12 -15 pounds of ugly, useless fat.

Then it would not need to worry about how to lose the remaining 80 pounds it should shed to be a reasonably healthy and presentable person.

The whole “non-binary” thing... well, some quality therapy might help — not the “affirming” bull crap of today, but the “curing” type we practiced a few decades ago.
