Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Alt Timeline: "French Revolutionaires doesn't believe their leadership is good enough, supports the Monarchy instead" 🤡
looks awkwardly at Napoleon in our timeline.
Also... like... the Reign of Terror. Maybe some of the French Revolutionaries should have given more thought to their own leadership. How historically ignorant is this moderately well upvoted analogy?
Actually, I'm wondering if it was an intentional joke - but I went through the US school system through college and most of what I learned about Napoleon came from Total War and the history channel. (And later on through Oversimplified which is actually extremely careful and detailed about their information and then by going to the dude's fucking tomb and reading shit)
My vague recollection is that the French Revolution was briefly touched on as part of US history Ala "Look, these French people helped us out and built a Republic modeled after ours (false) and then they sent us a shiny statue because Yum, Democracy So Good." But I also struggled with ADHD in school so my memory isn't super reliable.
Americans with hardons for the founding fathers rarely talk about France's involvement because pretty much all the founding fathers took their time in France to get lit af and pound some strange on the nascent Republics bill which doesn't really fit (along with Deism) in the WASPy version of American history.
