Can this American version of the French Revolution bring change? | TheHill

Welcome to the modern French Revolution. The tragic killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis resulted in an important focus on race relations and justice in this country. However, it is being lost to an emerging radicalism that challenges people to prove their faith by endorsing farce. Across the country, political leaders and commentators are outdoing each other to demonstrate fealty to this new order, attacking core institutions and values. A growing radical element is fighting to outshout each other as leaders of a careening movement, with politicians joining calls to defund the police and commentators calling for censorship. Moderate voices seem to be fading with the escalating demands that leaders denounce the values that define them.
