America is heading towards a revolution, but what kind? From T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:
Or St. Petersburg?
We are no doubt in revolutionary times, it’s just a matter of which sort of revolution it will be. If one imagines Washington DC as King George, distant, hostile, arrogant, unresponsive to the needs of the people and unwilling to pass laws that benefit them, taking their money and spitting on the ground, one might better understand the absolute volcanic response of the Washington establishment to the removal of McCarthy from the Speaker’s chair. That was the people, average citizens, throwing tea into Boston harbor. That was rebellion egged on by the colonists finally disrupting the crown, this time in Washington DC.
It is, in some respect, an amazing time to be alive, to watch a powerful nation brought to its knees by sheer stupidity and avarice, thrashing about now with foreign troops (FBI) sent out to intimidate the colonists.
Then, there’s the comparison to Russia, broke from the First World War, weak from the losses and demoralization of the troops. Infused by communists in many government offices and their refusal to recognize the Tsar (Trump) as the head of government, when he was, and a refusal to recognize the voices of the people in terms of elections. The only question to be raised is whether the people will rise up like 18th Century patriots or lay down like Russian peasants.
