complete an essay about the question: “ To what extent do political revolutions that begin with ideals of equality inevitably lead to authoritarian leadership?” using the french revolution’s reign of terror and donald trump. do not change what i have, just continue it in that EXACT writing style “Political movements are not new and have never been. From the French Revolution to the current call for a ceasefire in Gaza, as humans always banded together for the causes we believed in. That is arguably human nature, for we always seek our own ideas of justice that we just so happen to commonly share with a neighbor or a friend. This is especially prominent in fields like politics, fields that shape society. Throughout history, political revolutions often begin with ideals of equality and fairness for the common people. However, as we have seen time and time again, they can lead to authoritarian leadership when power is condensed into one individual and only one party is responsible for upholding social stability. Which is a path that the french revolution led, and a path the USA is currently going down today with the MAGA movement. The french revolution is what will be used to model such phenomena. Not only was the movement iconic for its common folk overthrowing the monarchy, it is also unfortunately known for its reign of terror. With the blah blah blah french revolution stuff The USA, with its current political polarization, is unfortunately on the same route of collapse. Donald Trump has always been an interesting political figure, ever since his first run in 2016. Not only for his morally gray tactics but also for the cult-like following he built himself since his run against Hillary Clinton. Dubbed MAGA, Make America Great Again, this political movement explicitly supports Trump with his promises of a traditional “greater” America. Not only was he backed by millions of patriotic Americans, he was also financially supported by those around him. People gathered in the masses to push his agenda, believing it will restore “american values” and benefit them in the long run. The Center of Public Integrity reported that Pro-Trump nonprofits have donated to groups actively pushing his agenda, stating “The money it gave to Donors Trust and Heritage Action were two of more than $18 million in grants to 17 separate groups the nonprofit reported giving to in 2020, including more than $3.7 million to groups doing voter registration work in the swing states of Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.” This not only demonstrates the wide overall endorsement of his administration, but also proof of how concentrated Trump’s power was becoming. Though today, we see the consequences of such condensed power in rapid succession. Supporters experiencing voters regret, allies questioning their positions/turning their backs, etc. This is mostly because trump, with all the rights he claims as president, abandoned his promise to prioritize the country and took on a war in the middle east against iran. ” I have already started, just continue it in that style and include all of the sources. “Levine, Carrie. “Pro-Trump Nonprofit Gives Millions to Groups Boosting His Agenda.” Center for Public Integrity, 28 June 2024, https://publicintegrity.org/politics/pro-trump-nonprofit-gives-millions-to-groups-boosting-his-agenda/.

Be fair!] (Author page#).

Explanation of rebuttal: [Explain how your evidence defeats the counterclaim.] Concluding sentence: [Remind the reader why your argument still wins, and transition to your conclusion.] Example Counterclaim Paragraph: It is true that some people believe cell phones distract students during class. According to Smith, “68% of teachers report that phone use disrupts lessons” (Smith 22). This suggests that banning phones could improve focus. However, this argument ignores the fact that distraction comes from poor management, not the phones themselves. Jones found that “schools with clear phone policies saw a 40% drop in disruptions without banning devices” (Jones 45). By teaching responsible use instead of banning phones, schools can reduce distractions while keeping the benefits. Conclusion Paragraph: Restating Thesis in a Different Way [First sentence] -Go back to your overall argument but change your sentence so you don’t repeat yourself. Last Name 4 Summarizing Main Points (Claim) [3-4 sentences] – Wrap up the most important takeaway from each argument into one sentence. Each claim should have 1 sentence summarizing it. Closing Sentence [last sentence] – Looks toward the future. Should be a positive sentence. this is not graded, jsut do it. its for me. no one else. positive sentence.”
