I've decided to become a fashion influencer. My first suggestion is that Americans should start wearing the red choker worn during the French Revolution to remind the Trump oligarchy of the fate that awaits them.

"During the French Revolution, the red choker held powerful symbolism. Women began wearing red ribbons around their necks as a tribute to those who were executed by guillotine. This political dress accessory served as a poignant homage to the victims of the revolution's violence.

The red choker also became a symbol of protest against the monarchy and nobility. It was one of the most potent symbols used by French people to express their hatred towards the extravagant ruling class. The ribbon was worn in various ways, either as a simple choker or tied in the back and over the shoulders to create an X shape.

Interestingly, the symbolism of the red choker extended beyond France's borders. In 1790s England, young women wore red ribbon chokers as a form of mockery towards the French Revolution. This was due to the ongoing tensions between Britain and France, with the British using this fashion statement to taunt their neighbors during a tumultuous period.

The red choker was part of a broader trend of using fashion as a means of political expression during the French Revolution. Along with other elements like the tricolor cockade, it played a vital role in visually representing support for revolutionary ideals and opposition to the old regime.
