Current Events > Watching how the French Revolution happened. Things will get ugly.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Reign of Terror where at least tens of thousands were murdered by the guillotine. We'll reach that easily.

And then they went back to being ruled by dictators and kings a few short years later anyway.

But who will be getting guillotined? I worry Trump is going to be the one sending people to it

France didn't have drones, tanks, missiles, armored trucks, riot gear, tear gas and assault rifles.

Americans have more guns per capita than every citizen.

Try looking at other revolutions. We don't map into the French Revolution

Some of you guys have a lot more faith in the American citizenry than us deserved.

The US army is designed for destroying other normal armies. It is historically terrible at handling guerilla warfare.

Honestly, "Loud people are Scammers" sounds like a very out of touch moment along the line of "Let them eat cake."

People can't even fathom the number of guns in this country, there are so many guns you could give almost two guns to every man woman and child. That's right the are more guns than people in this country and it's close to 2 to 1.

This is the most armed country in the world and it's by a huge margin. I also have a feeling most soldiers would refuse to obey orders to attack large groups of American citizens especially if shit got that level of bad to where millions were marching against this country.

Neither did the Taliban or Mujahadeen. Who currently runs Afghanistan? It sure as shit ain't the US or Russia. The only one of those things the US did not have during the Vietnam War was drones. Who won that one?

The average American is not a Taliban style guerilla or Vietcong. That doesn't mean they cannot become those things given time and motivation.

Also turning the military on it's own people tends to get militaries to defect to protect their families and friends.
