Catholic podcaster Michael Knowles has compiled several clips on his YouTube channel of Joe Biden calling for just that:  a revolution.    I didn’t have time to search and then link his videos from a month ago, but I definitely heard Joe Biden call for “a revolution” a few times.  Less difficult to prove on google is this: The Democratic party has remained very, very silent against the riotous violence plaguing blue cities.    In fact, certain people at the 2020 DNC admitted they want the full dissolution of the USA. And this is why a Catholic priest has every right to write about the 2020 election: Our current situation looks a lot like a new French Revolution.

Aristocrats were the ones who initially refused to consent to a tax hike without a meeting of l’etats general. Since the royal treasury was empty after financing France’s support for the American Revolution, Louis had no choice but to call for the meeting. George Washington’s friend Jean Lafayette was in the vanguard of the aristocrats supporting double representation of the third estate. The aristocracy actually was trying to defend itself, because King Louis was passing out titles to wealthy commoners for a fee, commoners whom the true nobles considered inferior, and leading the king astray. This all according to LeFebvre, the Coming of the French Revolution.

John flipping Kerry, the Catholic, has been trolling for a French type revolution since the 70’s. Pappy Francis has yet to excommunicate US law makers for being pro-abortion... One simply cannot serve two masters ... God said so!

Pay close attention to the following Youtube video, particularly around the 1:55 mark:

I am second to no one in my disdain for Bergoglio, but none of his predecessors excommunicated them either, so it seems unfair to single him out for that.

I don’t see any prospects of the American Left in becoming “Revolutionary” ...giving them too much credit...Rather just whimpering away as they oversee the dwindling of our country as it fully succumbs to the thumb of China.

You don’t see riots in our cities ruled by leftist mayors as being “revolutionary”?

More like “wannabe revolutionary” in my view -—They can still stir bloodshed, but can they pull off what the French terrorists of the 19th Century did?

There is zero cohesive vision and too much infighting and fecklessness in the modern American leftist radical movement(s)...

You don’t think the whole BLM movement has cohesion?

How do you explain simultaneous riots in Portland, Detroit, NYC, Chicago, etc....?

temporarily they’re ‘united’ against Trump and any form order...but taken to logical conclusion there will be infighting.

But i don’t think we’ll even know because Trump may win and the movement may fizzle :)!

Replace "Trump" with King Louis and you've got the exact same thing.

Ironically...Nancy Pelosi has been coined “Nancy Antoinette” LoL.

Trump is no King Louis. He is a George Washington. Who was also against the French Revolution’s excesses. (As well as excesses of monarchy.)

The French Revolution was the greatest single catastrophe to strike Western Civilization since the Black Death. All the horrors of the 20th century are a direct result.

What if Trump doesn't win?

You don't see the huge movement behind the impeachment charade, the ongoing scamdemic, the BLM crap, and the leftist mass media (both TV and internet) as being an organized effort for a revolt?

Thanks for the link; but I don't see how that video supports the claim that there is no organized anarchist revolution currently occurring in the U.S.

Unfortunately we even have Catholic bishops like Gregory, Cupich, Seitz, etc, supporting the revolution.

And a pope who calls Bishop Seitz to thank him for his support of the BLM movement.
