#IRLHistoricalFigureMaximilienRobespierre[Wikipedia]Supplementary #EDUUSUniversityVirginiaTechMattGabriele[skeet] "Those claims by the Right, however, seem at first glance to not make sense. They state that they represent the will of the people and want to terrorize those they consider 'tyrants.' And yet, they themselves have tried to overturn a legitimate election and more recently enacted sweeping voter suppression laws across several states in order to cement their own hold on power. In addition, the Right and their enablers rush to stake out absolutist positions related to 'religious liberty' or 'freedom of speech' but then cheer on (or directly use) state power to limit just those liberties and freedoms they purport to support. For example, they assert 'liberty' to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community, and assert 'freedom' to legislate against mask-wearing during a global pandemic or to ban the teaching of history they don't agree with. ...
Over the course of 1792-94, the avatars of the 'will of the people' continued to narrow. It was no longer the legislature as a whole, composed of hundreds of delegates that embodied the 'will of the people,' but it specifically became the Committee of Public Safety led by Robespierre. He vocalized the public will and embodied the public good so that those who disagreed became existential enemies of France herself who needed to be eliminated. Hence, we wind up with the Terror -- denunciations and mass executions of perceived enemies both at home and abroad. The Terror, Furet argued, was only ended when Robespierre lost control of the discourse and no longer embodied the public will, so he himself became a threat and was executed.
Contemporary America hasn't, of course, reached its own Terror. But the parallels between the modes of discourse in the late eighteenth- and early twenty-first centuries are striking. The Right has adopted an authoritarian mode of discourse because they think they embody the will of the people, the nation itself, and so are the only legitimate political actors." https://prof-gabriele.medium.com/on-guillotines-and-the-american-right-de0343b72341[Wikipedia]

'They don't hang out with regular folks like us who like to hunt and fish and pray and actually work for a living. Heck, I don't even know that they know how to talk to people from middle America.'

There's been a lot of this talk at the RNC, about 'real' Americans and 'regular' Americans and how they're the ones who make America great. ...
These politicians, implicitly and often explicitly, usually have certain people in mind when they refer to 'real Americans.' They often mean white people without college degrees -- the so-called 'white working class.' They usually mean practicing Christians. Their examples usually refer to people in the South or the Midwest -- not East Coast elites or West Coast hippies." https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/only-20-percent-of-voters-are-real-americans/

"For Sale: My White Privilege Card. The card is quite old, but in mint condition. Never been used. Reason for selling: It hasn't done anything for me! No free college, no free food, no free housing, no free anything. I've had to go to work every day of my life while paying a boatload of taxes to fund free stuff for those who suck off the government teat. If interested, I prefer cash but willing to do an even trade for a Victim Card, which seems much more widely accepted and comes with countless benefits without even having to show the card! If interested contact me on my cell phone that I pay for every month. Serious buyers only!
