      Like the French Revolution, it takes a lot for a revolt. Ultimately if faces aren’t seen, it forgotten. As for republicans, if they aren’t white faces; it’s forgotten in a day or two.

            “americans” aren’t a regular army, they’re a dispersed civilian population and the us military historically actually has a lot of trouble with those
