Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has been heard often referring to things as “our revolution.” The mainstream media who is too lazy to do their homework believe he is talking about his campaign however, that is not the case and it should be taken more seriously.
Bre Kidman, a Democratic socialist – like Bernie – is challenging Republican Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and is running to be the “first non-binary” Senator going by the pronoun “they.”
But what is more troubling is the campaign message she is putting on her shirts, “they” is using a guillotine. Kidman wrote, “I was gonna wait until tomorrow to show off these beauties, but Trump got acquitted and I feel like folks could use something to look forward to. So Get ready for Merch-You-Can’t-Buy! You shouldn’t buy elections, so you can’t buy our locally silk screened, upcycled merch.”
I was gonna wait until tomorrow to show off these beauties, but Trump got acquitted and I feel like folks could use something to look forward to. So.

“We’ll be giving these shirts (& patches & buttons) to folks who talk with Mainers about our campaign, More details on how to get your GuilloTee tomorrow! In the meantime, remember: there is not going to be a more convenient revolution,” she wrote in another post.

Senior advisor to the National Republican Senatorial Committee Matt Whitlock post:
Just flagging that one of @SenSusanCollins‘ Senate opponents has merchandise with a guillotine on it, presumably to cut off .. opponents heads.
Yikes. #MEpolitics #MEsen https://t.co/1u3A2gt8c3

Kidman was question and her or “they” (whatever) response was even more troubling.
More of a “what.” The guillotine is for the plutocratic & kleptocratic norms that have undermined our democratic process.
We have to develop ways to subvert the stranglehold of wealth on our government. There will not be a more convenient revolution. The symbol is a reminder.

I’m aware of the French Revolution, and how the story ends. A guillotine t-shirt reminds others about it in hopes that we’ll all be motivated to address the very serious problems with our government before a similarly violent uprising becomes inevitable.

Let us not forget that it was a crazy Bernie Sanders support that opened fire on Republican congressman during a baseball practice.
