I can't even tell from context *which* revolutionary French bloodbath you're referring to (the one with guillotines? the Paris communes? the fall of Vichy?) and it doesn't matter - All of them and more led to blood running in the gutters, and lots of collateral death and destruction.
Once the violence starts, it is very hard to control - which Rubio and Hegseth and Trump (and even Putin) are currently re-learning at the world's expense.
I don't want that to happen here. I want people to soberly reflect on the risks of NOT changing course, and then adjusting.
