From American Greatness:
During that summer moment of statue-felling and social media protest, the French Revolution was often recalled, Robespierre in particular. The story of Robespierre contains its own lesson about abolitionist thinking. Robespierre was an abolitionist until he had power. Before the revolution, he was against the death penalty, and even wrote at the beginning of the Constituent Assembly of being against the death penalty in general. But as soon as it came to the case of Louis XVI, his position changed. The execution took place, including everything that followed—not only the Terror. The abolition he originally sought was postponed for two centuries.
Will the same laws of political amnesia be applied to the abolitionist thinking of the present? With the Biden presidency now supposedly underway, the possibility of severe political relapse cannot be ignored—or rather, given the presidential senescence and vegetocracy, perhaps it can only be ignored (such is relapse as mechanic political forgetting).
Biden is directly associated with a substantial number of catastrophic and genocidal ideas and policies in the history of American politics. When Trump was figuring out how to rebuild the Twin Towers as Twin Trump Towers and creating ghastly posters to convict the Central Park Five, Biden was busy being the legislative point man for the invasion of Iraq and working out details of a crime bill that was a prime mover in the creation of the very prison industrial complex that BLM last year would have done anything—except abolish Biden—to abolish.
Anyone but Trump, so the lesser-evilest jargon went if allowed to max out. Especially a senile, stage-two dementia, segregationist, Sino-compromised, alleged rapist, alleged pedophile, instigator and supporter of the Iraq War who wrote the first version of the Patriot Act as well as the secret 2013 memorandum of understanding creating a loophole for Chinese companies to trade out of native Tibet, and helped design the color revolutions in Europe whose model has now been imported into America itself to steal an election.

Besides his past actions, he and his 'Presidential' edicts, along with Democrat led actions in Congress, has infringed upon individual American's freedoms and rights such as in the so called Equality Act and new voting regulations that oversteps a State's control over voting regulations.
