The Storming of the Bastille: That Time When Democracy Won

The Storming of the Bastille.     In our second episode, Dakota and Liz talk about the French Revolution, why the king had massive amounts of debt, the naming of the Tennis Court Oath, and what happens when you kick someone in the crotch.  It also looks at what differences exist between fighting against a corrupt government, and what happened on Capitol Hill on Jan.6, 2021.
This episode is all about fighting for one's democratic rights.
