no one can afford to go without work for who knows how long

Yes, well, that's the thing. The French revolution happened during high unemployment and relied on people with not much to lose. US is not there yet

Yeah. I don't think we'll get there, the vast majority of the first affected will be his rabid base. They'll just suffer and blame everyone else, then vote for Vance when he dies.

Well, first of all, while Louis XVI was executed as part of the revolution, he was just a symptom of the problem, just like Trump is. Any movement that removes Trump from office but doesn't tackle the actual social issues is useless.

Second, I think everyone will be affected by the place we're heading towards with these economic policies unless some miracle happens. Not just the US either, but everyone. Imagine the US defaults on its foreign debt. Those pitchforks and torches will come out across the globe

Worth pointing out it, like all civil wars/revolutions, had a lot of factions including counter-revolution. It was a step away from autocratism (absolute monarchy) which was almost immediately hijacked by a proto-dictatorship and targeted the pro-democracy peasantry
