I love how the Lincoln Project forgot that the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.

@HannibalAteMeOut Half the people in this country who I speak to have never heard of the French Revolution, which was the origin for their entire Constitution. So I guess I'm not surprised lol

@BlueMetalChick that's wild lol

@BlueMetalChick [quote]French Revolution, which was the origin for their entire Constitution[/quote]
Not sure... the American Constitution came into force in 1789, same year as the French Revolution.

@HannibalAteMeOut You're kidding. Half of them think the Democrats are communist.

@Abstraction that too 😂

@helenS Sorry, I meant to say the French Enlightenment, not the Revolution.

@BlueMetalChick 🌷

@helenS I always get the two words mixed up because in my native tongue, we often refer to the two events as one single thing, [i]Francuski Promena,[/i] which basically means "French Change". That's how it's taught in history books in Serbia.

@BlueMetalChick I think that's only appropriate. The French Revolution is the immediate [u]political[/u] result of Enlightenment.
The beginning of the modern world, with all its glory, and all its disasters.

@helenS And now, finally, we can eat cake 🍰

@BlueMetalChick When Chou En-Lai was asked his view of what the effects of the French Revolution were, he said “it’s too soon to tell.”

@LeopoldBloom Oh dear lord. That's fucking precious. How late in life was he asked that?
