Despite considering myself to be rather knowleadgeable about Marie Antoinette and her various endeavours and portrayals in media, I have to admit that i never heard of the Musical. Would you enlighten me about it and maybe advise where to watch it? 😁😁😁

Of course!

So, Marie Antoinette das Musical.

Based on a book by Shusaku Endom, premiered in Japan in 2006, as a collaboration between Michael Kunze and Szilvester Levay, known for Elisabeth das Musical, Mozart das Musical, and Rebecca das Musical, and went on to premiere in Germany in 2009. Both productions didn't do particularly well, even though they did have cast albums released. (I...still have to translate the German libretto, if only for the sake of keeping up my German skills.) There were some major structural flaws -- Marie Antoinette was too bitchy (throwing an actual temper tantrum, like a child, so that Louis would dismiss Necker; tossing champagne at a poor woman's head because she interrupted her ball and Marie thought it would be funny), her sympathetic qualities were either downplayed or erased in favor of her love affair with Fersen, which was reduced to "Good Man In Love With Bitchy Woman Who Knows She Isn't Good Enough For Him, But Don't Worry, He Loves Her Anyway", but the justifiable reasons for the Revolution were reduced to "Bitter poor people want Revenge and Go Against God", it had a bloated plot with too many characters, etc. etc. etc. It was, and I'm saying this as someone who ADORES messy musicals, one of the single biggest disasters I've ever forced myself to sit through, in the sense that it wasn't even particularly *entertaining.*

But, in 2014, an international crew got together to do the Korean production, and they essentially rewrote the whole thing. Not a shallow rewrite either, they TOTALLY REWROTE IT FROM THE GROUND UP. Songs were cut and added as needed, sometimes being given to different characters or put in different scenes, superfluous characters were removed, the plot was tightened to focus on the characters involved, Marie was rewritten into a flawed, but understandable character, not a sexist caricature. This was the version of the plot that would premiere in Hungary in 2016 and back to Japan in 2018 and 2021, becoming an international success.

The musical follows two women -- Marie Antoinette and Margrid Arnaud, two women with the same initials who lead very different lives. While Marie lives a life of oblivious privilege, Margrid lives on the streets. She was educated in a convent as a child, as the result of a mysterious benefactor (her mother having committed suicide) but was tossed out on the streets when the money ran out, and she's had to live by her wits since then. The two of them meet when Margrid interrupts a ball being held at Palais Royal to celebrate Marie's return to society. Margrid calls for the aristocrats to pay attention to the plight of the poor, who are starving, but all Marie can do is offer her a glass of champagne, which Margrid, furious at the lack of understanding, tosses in her face, swearing revenge. She joins up with the Duc d'Orléans, who is running a smear campaign in order to convince the public that he should be the rightful king, and things go downhill from there...

Some of the strongest points in the musical's favor:

Strong female characters. A term that's often thrown around casually, but, honestly, I love the musical for how it deals with the rivalry between Margrid and Marie, because neither one is fully wrong or fully right. We understand why both of them make the decisions they do and how it leads them to where they are by the end, and they go through an entire arc together. Margrid in particular is one of my characters of all time for being a woman who is brilliant, an absolute gremlin, strikingly vulnerable, and evasive. She's flawed, she's aggressive, vindictive, and spiteful, but we're also allowed to see WHY she's that way and how thoroughly fucked up she is by what's happened to her in the past. She is someone who truly doesn't believe that she's capable of being loved or of loving someone else -- platonically or romantically, because every experience she's had of love ended in betrayal, even when she desperately wants it. Meanwhile, Marie is both trapped in a life of fame and fortune while also believing, firmly, that that is her god-given right. She never believes that her position is anything other than her right by God, even when it involves spilling French military secrets to the other European powers when the Revolution goes a little crazy. She adores her family, she adores her husband, but she's also in love with Fersen (which...I don't like historical Fersen, but musical!Fersen, I tolerate.) You feel sympathetic for her by the end, but she doesn't demand sympathy.

Great villain. I love the Duc d'Orléans in this musical so much. Louis Philippe Joseph was a complicated man historically, and, depending on the actor, he's a complicated man in the musical. He's been simplified, but you can still SEE at times that he isn't a monster -- he genuinely ENJOYS working with Margrid, he's a good boss, he isn't necessarily WRONG about certain things, even when he's selfish in the way he goes about it (there's a great moment in the 2018 Japanese production where he sees Marie reject a peace offering from Cardinal de Rohan, and you can just SEE him dying inside, like "oh, God, she actually DID that." Margrid's eventual break with him isn't even that he betrayed HER or that HE changed his goals...she did. Which makes for a much more interesting dynamic than "evil man manipulates woman and then betrays her."

There's also a masquerade scene where they go undercover together. And yes, I went batshit over this and have still not recovered. (Please note that they are being used to contrast Fersen/Marie here, to make the ship bait worse.)

They're just. Like this. With one another. In one of the Korean productions, you can clearly hear her call him "Philippe" which murdered me.

I don't have any gifs of this scene without text on it, but the look on both of their faces by the end is...

Anyway, semi-canonical (depending on the production/actors) villainfucking angst, who is doing it like them?

The costumes are great (with the exception of the Hungarian, sorry Hungary.)

(The same dress from the same scene in both Japan and Korea)

It is bizarrely accurate in some ridiculously minute ways, like the Toho production actually DOING A RECREATION OF THE HISTORICAL MARIE'S BED.

Historically accurate pamphlet, shown in a projection while Orléans is singing about his strategy to turn the people against her. I legitimately had to pause the screen the first time I saw it because I couldn't believe my eyes. (Yes, I now pause it on each stream.)

Like, don't get me wrong, it still gets a LOT wrong, or changes details around to make 9 years of someone's life fit into a two hour musical, but both the Korean and the Japanese productions DO care about details in ways that higher budget films and TV series often don't.

And, of course, some killer songs. (Orléans' villain song, Marie's song, Act 1 finale -- all from the Korean, since they are slightly better at putting songs out, with the Japanese trailer.)

The Korean and Japanese bootleg environments tend to be...stricter than Broadway -- there have been proshots released for both at various times (the Toho production is actually available to buy if you have a Japanese proxy who can send it to you), to the point where I can't *say* if I have access to the Korean, but I have bought both DVDs of the two Japanese casts and have been known to stream it. If you're interested, I'm always willing to schedule something, especially since it's been ages since I've done anything like it.

Fascism is ideologically vague and can involve the politics of the right and the left. Today, governments exhibiting fascist tendencies range across the ideological spectrum, from socialism in Venezuela to conservative nationalism in Hungary.

Fascism draws strength from an upset or angry public – whether that anger results from a lost war or lost territory, a loss of national pride or a loss of jobs, or any combination of these factors. The most successful fascist leaders have a charisma that enables them to connect emotionally with the crowd, converting public anger into a sense of public solidarity and purpose. Once in power, fascists consolidate authority by controlling information. Hitler’s regime ruthlessly propagandized – Mein Kampf, Hitler’s own book, was studied like the Bible, while radio addresses enabled the Führer to broadcast his hate-fuelled oratory to 80 million people at once. Today, authoritarian governments such as Russia and Turkey spread disinformation online and seek to quash media outlets that criticize them. A fascist normally claims to act and speak on behalf of a whole nation, or an entire group, and draws a dividing line between that group and outsiders, such as the Jews in Nazi Germany or the class traitors in Soviet Russia.

Finally, fascist leaders expect the crowd to back them up. Unlike other tyrants, they are not wary of the population and don’t try to calm the crowd; rather, they strive to stir it up.

Fascists rarely come to power with the suddenness of a single coup; rather, they move one slow step at a time, seeming to abide by the rules of the democratic process. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, leader of Turkey, strengthened his position step by step. After a legitimate election in 2002, he began dismantling institutions that could have provided checks and balances to his rule.

Hundreds of military officers were arrested on charges – some real, some fictitious – of coup-planning. His government took ownership of unfavorable media outlets, and legislation enabled him to appoint loyal judges. Following a real coup attempt in 2016, Erdoğan instituted a state of emergency and arrested political opponents and journalists. He won a referendum giving him full authority to issue laws by decree, make arrests and deny detainees access to justice. Step by step, following his first election, Erdoğan increased his power and weakened the institutions of the state. Fascism takes hold slowly and quietly, and many people only notice it when it can no longer be hindered.

Flavored and Functional Water Market Is Expected To Generate A Revenue Of USD 112.6 billion By 2030

The latest market report published by Credence Research, Inc. “Global Flavored and Functional Water Market: Growth, Future Prospects, and Competitive Analysis, 2016 – 2028. The global flavored and functional water market has witnessed steady growth in recent years and is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 12.20% between 2023 and 2030. The market was valued at USD 50.3 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 112.6 billion in 2030.

The flavored and functional water market refers to the industry that produces and sells water-based beverages with added flavors and functional ingredients. These products are designed to provide consumers with a more appealing and health-focused alternative to plain water. The market has experienced significant growth in recent years as consumers have become more health-conscious and seek out beverages that offer added benefits beyond basic hydration.

Here are some key components of the flavored and functional water market:

Flavored Water: Flavored water is plain water infused with natural or artificial flavors to enhance taste. These flavors can range from fruity and sweet to herbal or botanical. The aim is to make water more enjoyable to drink, especially for those who may find plain water unappealing.

Functional Water: Functional water takes flavored water a step further by adding ingredients that provide specific health or functional benefits. These can include vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, antioxidants, probiotics, and other bioactive compounds. Functional waters are marketed for their potential to improve energy, focus, immune health, or other aspects of well-being.

Some of the major players in the market and their market share are as follows:

Groupe Danone

Nestle SA

The Coca-Cola Company

New York Spring Water

Kraft Foods

Balance Water Company

Sunny Delight Beverages Company

Here is a regional analysis of the market:

North America:

United States: The United States is one of the largest markets for flavored and functional water. Consumers in the US are increasingly looking for healthier beverage options, driving the growth of this market. Demand for functional waters with added vitamins, antioxidants, and other health benefits is high.

Canada: The Canadian market is also witnessing growth, driven by health-conscious consumers seeking alternative beverages to sugary sodas and juices.

Europe:

Western Europe: Countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Spain have robust markets for flavored and functional water. Health-conscious consumers, along with the popularity of natural and organic products, have fueled the demand in this region.

Eastern Europe: The market is emerging in countries like Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. As consumer awareness about the benefits of functional water grows, so does the market.

Asia-Pacific:

China: The Chinese market for flavored and functional water has been expanding rapidly. Rising disposable incomes and urbanization are driving the demand for healthier beverages. Local and international brands are competing in this market.

India: India's market is also growing, driven by a young and health-conscious population. Functional waters with ayurvedic or herbal ingredients are gaining popularity.

Japan: Japan has a well-established market for functional beverages, including water infused with various health-enhancing ingredients.

Latin America:

Brazil: Brazil is a significant market in Latin America for flavored and functional water. The demand for functional water with added vitamins, minerals, and natural flavors is on the rise.

Mexico: The Mexican market is also growing as consumers seek healthier alternatives to sugary beverages.

Some of the major challenges and risks include:

Regulatory Compliance: The regulatory landscape for food and beverage products, especially those making health claims, can be complex and subject to change. Ensuring compliance with regulations related to labeling, health claims, and ingredient approvals is essential. Non-compliance can lead to fines, product recalls, or damage to brand reputation.

Consumer Skepticism: Consumers are becoming more discerning and skeptical about health claims made by beverage companies. Brands must invest in robust scientific research to substantiate their functional claims and communicate this evidence transparently to consumers. Misleading or unsupported claims can lead to credibility issues.

Competition: The flavored and functional water market is highly competitive, with numerous brands vying for market share. Established beverage giants and new startups are constantly entering the market, making it challenging to stand out. Brands must differentiate themselves through innovation, unique flavors, and effective marketing strategies.

Taste and Quality: While functional benefits are crucial, taste remains a primary driver of consumer choice. Maintaining consistent taste and quality can be challenging, especially when using natural ingredients and minimal additives. Any negative changes in taste or quality can result in customer dissatisfaction.

Clinical Trial Supplies Market is Valued at ~$2.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~8% by 2026

Services including packaging and labeling, clinical supplies logistics & distribution, comparator sourcing, and clinical supplies management are all part of the clinical trial supplies (CTS) market. The R&D expenditure by large pharma companies totaled a record $133 billion in 2021, an increase of 44% since 2016. With the rising R&D spending and the increasing complexity of clinical trials, Pharma/Biotech is looking to outsource more non-core activities related to clinical trials. Big Pharma is usually more reluctant to outsource than biotech, which is highly reliant on external partners for clinical development activities.

The global clinical trial supplies market is valued at ~$2.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~8%, driven by rising R&D expenditure, increasing clinical trial complexity and regulatory requirements, robust Venture Capital activity in the Biotech sector, a growing trend towards outsourcing, and growth in clinical trials conducted.

Increased Focus on Biologics which require Specialized Logistics Capabilities

The biologics market which is rising at ~15% far exceeds the overall pharma market growth. Biologics drugs require specialized logistics, distribution, storage, and monitoring capabilities as drugs are temperature sensitive. This further offers growth opportunities for CTS providers with proven expertise and capabilities in handling biologics.

Evolution in Clinical Trials Conducted

In 2021, new clinical trials started, across Phase I/II/III, representing a 21% increase over the previous year. Between 2016 and 21, the total number of new clinical trials began increased by 7.1%. The progress in the clinical trials conducted would spur the demand for the clinical trial supply services like comparator sourcing, clinical logistics and supplies management.

Oncology – High Growth Therapeutic Area for CTS

Oncology is the leading and fastest-growing segment in terms of therapeutic usage. This is mostly attributed to the presence of a huge R&D pipeline of oncology drugs. Additionally, the majority of oncology drugs require temperature-sensitive distribution, which is anticipated to fuel the demand for cold chain distribution.

Decentralized Trials leading to Increased Demand for CTS

Covid-19 has provided an impetus to clinical trials being conducted in a decentralized manner. Virtual trials have become more important than ever post-pandemic. There were hardly any M&As related to virtual trials taking place before the pandemic, but the market observed ~10 M&A deals in 2020. The rising trend toward decentralized trials and the requirement for direct-from-patient and direct-to-patient logistics and distribution of samples/drugs/monitoring equipment make the role of CTS providers more critical in guaranteeing smooth & efficient progress of clinical studies.

Explore Premium Report on Clinical Trial Supplies Market @ https://meditechinsights.com/clinical-trial-supplies-market/

Global Footprint and Coverage, a Key Differentiator

As companies face challenges in the recruitment of patients, clinical trials are progressively conducted across more regions and sites. CTS providers with a global footprint and/or ability to service across North America/Europe and increasingly Asia/LATAM as well, are in great demand.

Global Expansion and Acquisition Witnessed as Key Growth Strategies

As a key growth strategy, companies in the clinical trial supplies market are concentrating on growing their global presence with additional office footprint and/or entering into acquisitions to broaden their existing service offerings.

For instance,

In June 2021, Biocair opened a new facility in Frankfurt (Germany) as part of the company’s ongoing international growth

In July 2019, Marken acquired HRTL (Italy), HETO (Austria), and Der Kurier (Hungary) to further strengthen its commitment to providing logistics services to the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries in Europe

Competitive Landscape Analysis of Clinical Trial Supplies Market

The global clinical trial supplies market is highly fragmented with the presence of large, integrated CDMOs as well as smaller players. CROs are also looking to expand their service scope to clinical trial manufacturing and also clinical trial supplies distribution & logistics as a vertical integration strategy.

Some of the key/promising players in clinical trial supplies market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Catalent, Parexel, Almac Group, Clinigen, Marken (UPS), Piramal, UDG Healthcare, Klifo, Capsugel (Lonza), Recipharm, N-SIDE, Ancillare, and Biocair.

ETIAS: Background, Aims & Eligible Countries.

Background:

ETIAS is among the measures undertaken as part of the Security Union. It will also help to achieve the objectives of the "European Agenda on Security" and the "European Agenda on Migration" in particular regarding border management and preventing cross-border crime and terrorism.

The European Commission first introduced the idea of a ETIAS in April 2016 in the convention "Stronger and Smarter Information Systems for Borders and Security" and adopted the proposal on 16 November 2016. After negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council the ETIAS Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 was adopted on 12 September 2018 and entered into force on 9 October 2018.

Aims of ETIAS:

The aim of ETIAS Europe is to provide a more secure journey to EU member countries as well as to strengthen the borders of the Schengen Area by pre-checking the data of travellers before they enter the zone.

The ETIAS visa waiver will allow eligible visitors to enter the Schengen Area for short-term stays of up to 90 days for tourism, transit or business. Travellers can move freely between the Schengen countries as there are no internal hard borders within the zone.

ETIAS EU is considered to be a visa waiver program, which means ETIAS is not a visa. Also, this special travel authorisation does not require applicants to physically go to an embassy or consulate. The whole process will be completed online.

Who needs an ETIAS visa waiver?

There are currently more than 50 nationalities who will need to apply for an ETIAS visa waiver though more countries may be added to the list in the future. It is key to understand that after ETIAS is implemented in November 2023, the current visa-free countries will continue to have this status, the only difference being the need to obtain a valid ETIAS along with their passports.

Citizens from non-eligible countries will need to apply for a Schengen Europe visa to enter the region. There are also different types of visas available for people who want to study or work in Europe as ETIAS is not a visa and is not designed for these purposes.

Following is the list of eligible countries for ETIAS:

i. Albania ii. Antigua and Barbuda iii. Argentina iv. Australia v. Bahamas vi. Barbados

vii. Bosnia and Herzegovina viii. Brazil ix. Brunei x. Canada xi. Chile xii. Colombia

xiii. Costa Rica xiv. Dominica xv. El Salvador xvi. Georgia xvii. Grenada xviii. Guatemala

xix. Honduras xx. Hong Kong xxi. Israel xxii. Japan xxiii. Kiribati xxiv. Macao

xxv. North Macedonia xxvi. Malaysia xxvii. Marshall Islands xxviii. Mauritius xxix. Mexico xxx. Micronesia xxxi. Moldova xxxii. Montenegro xxxiii. New Zealand xxxiv. Nicaragua

xxxv. Palau xxxvi. Panama xxxvii. Paraguay xxxviii. Peru xxxix. Saint Kitts and Nevis xl . Saint Lucia

xli. Saint Vincent xlii. Samoa xliii. Serbia xliv. Seychelles xlv. Singapore

xlvi. Solomon Islands xlvii. South Korea xlviii. Taiwan

xlix. Timor Leste l. Tonga li. Trinidad and Tobago lii. Tuvalu liii. Ukraine

liv. United Arab Emirates lv. United Kingdom lvi. United States of America lvii. Uruguay lviii. Venezuela

ETIAS countries list:

i. Austria ii. Andorra iii. Belgium iv. Bulgaria v. Croatia vi. Cyprus vii. Czech Republic

viii. Denmark ix. Estonia x. Finland xi. France xii. Germany xiii. Greece xiv. Hungary

xv. Iceland xvi. Italy xvii. Latvia xviii. Liechtenstein xix. Lithuania xx. Luxembourg xxi. Malta

xxii. Monaco xxiii. Netherlands xxiv. Norway xxv. Romania xxvi. San Marino xxvii. Spain xxviii. Slovakia xxix. Slovenia xxx. Sweden xxxi. Switzerland xxxii. Poland xxxiii. Portugal xxxiv. Vatican City

How does the ETIAS system work?

Applicants will need to answer a series of questions by entering basic information such as their name, address, date of birth, and passport details. There will also be some questions regarding health and security.

The information provided by applicants will be screened using relevant security databases. The majority of applications will be processed within minutes though some may take longer.

Once approved, the ETIAS visa waiver will be sent to the applicant electronically. Travellers will be able to present this special travel document when they arrive in the Schengen Area to gain entry.

Why a European travel authorisation?

ETIAS will protect visitors to the Schengen Area as well as European citizens and residents. The online ETIAS application process has been designed to be hassle-free and straightforward, and there will be no need to go to an embassy or consulate.

Veronique Rabiot, “La Dame de Feu”

Veronique Rabiot, the mother of France midfielder and Manchester United target Adrien, has been in the news for a variety of reasons during her son's playing career

While some footballers arrive with their reputation preceding them, some - like Adrien Rabiot - can arrive with a parent's reputation preceding them.

France international midfielder Rabiot has been linked with Manchester United as the club seek alternatives to longer-term target Frenkie de Jong. Ironically, Rabiot is partly in the shop window because his current club Juventus have picked up his compatriot Paul Pogba from United over the summer.

If United do end up moving for the 27-year-old, they know his arrival would likely see his mother and agent Veronique take a very active interest in his activities in England. And she certainly has previous in this regard.

Veronique is reportedly set on speaking directly to United chief John Murtough, rather than any intermediaries, as she seeks the best deal for Adrien. And, if things turn south at any point, the English club can expect plenty of noise about it.

A 'prisoner' at PSG

Adrien Rabiot was a well-travelled youngster, spending time with Manchester City's academy as well as stints on the books of multiple French clubs. It was at Paris Saint-Germain, though, where he made his breakthrough.

The midfielder was just 17 when he made his PSG debut under Carlo Ancelotti, and he was part of the team which beat Barcelona 4-0 at the Parc des Princes before the Catalan club completed a dramatic Champions League comeback. However, by 2019, the relationship between club and player - or at least club and agent - had soured.

"Adrien is a prisoner!" Veronique told L'Equipe (via Goal ) in the final months of her son's contract. Adrien, 23 at the time, had been frozen out of Thomas Tuchel's first team after being linked with a number of European giants, and his mother really leant into the analogy.

"He is even held hostage by PSG," she continued. "Soon it will be dry bread, water, and a dungeon! This environment is cruel.

"They want him to put on his pajamas at nine o'clock, before the game, in front of his TV, to go to bed at eleven o'clock!"

International ill will

After being on the standby list for Euro 2016, Rabiot made his senior international bow a few months later. However, when it came to the 2018 World Cup, mother and son reportedly agreed a standby spot would no longer do.

The midfielder had been a regular for PSG in the 2017-18 season, playing 50 times under Unai Emery as Les Parisiens won Ligue 1 but fell to Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League. At international level, though, the likes of N'Golo Kante and Steven Nzonzi beat him to a place in Didier Deschamps' squad.

"If I have decided to withdraw from the list of reservations it is because I consider the choice of the recruiter in my regard does not respond to any sporting logic because for all these years the message was clear, it is the performances in the club that open the doors to the French national team," the the then-PSG man said at the time (per The Star ). "I am a competitor, but also a man and I would like to be considered as such (...) and finally I will assume all the consequences of my choice with the support of family and relatives."

Rabiot didn't play again for Les Bleus in the rest of 2018 or all of 2019. He was back in the picture by the next European Championships, though, having left PSG for Juventus, but that's when we saw the next intervention.

Bad blood at the Euros

After winning the World Cup without Rabiot, Deschamps' side were among the favourites for the European Championships in 2021. After coming through a tough group, finishing above Germany, Portugal and Hungary, a last-16 tie against Switzerland was the reward.

With 10 minutes left, France were 3-1 up and seemingly cruising to victory. It wasn't to be, though, with their opponents taking the game to penalties and prevailing after Yann Sommer saved from Kylian Mbappe.

As reported by The Athletic, the scenes among the French players' entourage threatened to overshadow the result. And, yes, Veronique Rabiot was involved.

The dispute reportedly involved members of Paul Pogba's group questioning a mistake from Adrien, with Veronique - for her part - blaming Pogba for his part in Mario Gavranovic's late equaliser for the Swiss. A "heated exchange" followed, and by "heated" we're talking 20 minutes or so, with more than one reported target.

Both of Mbappe's parents were said to have born the brunt of Veronique's anger, with The Athletic referencing a dispute with Mbappe's mother Fayza Lamari with others left shocked. ESPN also cited multiple sources suggesting she told Wilfried Mbappe to speak with his "arrogant" son. The following year, Veronique Rabiot was asked about the incident in an interview with Ouest-France (via Marca ). She was unable to share too many details, but appeared to have a good reason for that.

"I can't speak about [the incident], there is a procedure underway," she said. "Now, when there is defamation, invasion of intimacy or insults, I go to court."

The background

In that same Ouest-France interview, Veronique attempted to give some background to her outspoken nature. "The image of the child with his mother does not reflect reality at all," she argued.

"I am an authoritarian person, it is true. But not what is described in the media.

"I think it [the media reputation] has to do with the fact that we don't talk to journalists enough. So they lament us. But I have a thick skin. I have nothing to prove, we have nothing to prove."

A source with close knowledge of the Rabiot family also told The Athletic about some further background which adds context. Adrien's father suffered from locked-in syndrome for much of his son's life, leaving Veronique to raise her sons "singlehandedly".

“She stands her ground. She goes overboard but she raised her boys and took her son everywhere for football, no matter if it was minus five degrees and snow. And she is an honest woman," the source said.

"She gives money to church. She was (from a) very poor upbringing. She is really hard-nosed. She is not a prima donna. She gives back to people who helped her before. "Is she too loud? Yes. But she has a lot of baggage. The context is everything. She is not a bad person. And she will always defend her son to death.”

By Timothy Snyder

Published Jan. 9, 2021 - Updated Jan. 10, 2021, 10:12 a.m. ET

When Donald Trump stood before his followers on Jan. 6 and urged them to march on the United States Capitol, he was doing what he had always done. He never took electoral democracy seriously nor accepted the legitimacy of its American version.

Even when he won, in 2016, he insisted that the election was fraudulent — that millions of false votes were cast for his opponent. In 2020, in the knowledge that he was trailing Joseph R. Biden in the polls, he spent months claiming that the presidential election would be rigged and signaling that he would not accept the results if they did not favor him. He wrongly claimed on Election Day that he had won and then steadily hardened his rhetoric: With time, his victory became a historic landslide and the various conspiracies that denied it ever more sophisticated and implausible.

People believed him, which is not at all surprising. It takes a tremendous amount of work to educate citizens to resist the powerful pull of believing what they already believe, or what others around them believe, or what would make sense of their own previous choices. Plato noted a particular risk for tyrants: that they would be surrounded in the end by yes-men and enablers. Aristotle worried that, in a democracy, a wealthy and talented demagogue could all too easily master the minds of the populace. Aware of these risks and others, the framers of the Constitution instituted a system of checks and balances. The point was not simply to ensure that no one branch of government dominated the others but also to anchor in institutions different points of view.

In this sense, the responsibility for Trump’s push to overturn an election must be shared by a very large number of Republican members of Congress. Rather than contradict Trump from the beginning, they allowed his electoral fiction to flourish. They had different reasons for doing so. One group of Republicans is concerned above all with gaming the system to maintain power, taking full advantage of constitutional obscurities, gerrymandering and dark money to win elections with a minority of motivated voters. They have no interest in the collapse of the peculiar form of representation that allows their minority party disproportionate control of government. The most important among them, Mitch McConnell, indulged Trump’s lie while making no comment on its consequences.

Yet other Republicans saw the situation differently: They might actually break the system and have power without democracy. The split between these two groups, the gamers and the breakers, became sharply visible on Dec. 30, when Senator Josh Hawley announced that he would support Trump’s challenge by questioning the validity of the electoral votes on Jan. 6. Ted Cruz then promised his own support, joined by about 10 other senators. More than a hundred Republican representatives took the same position. For many, this seemed like nothing more than a show: challenges to states’ electoral votes would force delays and floor votes but would not affect the outcome.

Yet for Congress to traduce its basic functions had a price. An elected institution that opposes elections is inviting its own overthrow. Members of Congress who sustained the president’s lie, despite the available and unambiguous evidence, betrayed their constitutional mission. Making his fictions the basis of congressional action gave them flesh. Now Trump could demand that senators and congressmen bow to his will. He could place personal responsibility upon Mike Pence, in charge of the formal proceedings, to pervert them. And on Jan. 6, he directed his followers to exert pressure on these elected representatives, which they proceeded to do: storming the Capitol building, searching for people to punish, ransacking the place.

Of course this did make a kind of sense: If the election really had been stolen, as senators and congressmen were themselves suggesting, then how could Congress be allowed to move forward? For some Republicans, the invasion of the Capitol must have been a shock, or even a lesson. For the breakers, however, it may have been a taste of the future. Afterward, eight senators and more than 100 representatives voted for the lie that had forced them to flee their chambers.

Post-truth is pre-fascism, and Trump has been our post-truth president. When we give up on truth, we concede power to those with the wealth and charisma to create spectacle in its place. Without agreement about some basic facts, citizens cannot form the civil society that would allow them to defend themselves. If we lose the institutions that produce facts that are pertinent to us, then we tend to wallow in attractive abstractions and fictions. Truth defends itself particularly poorly when there is not very much of it around, and the era of Trump — like the era of Vladimir Putin in Russia — is one of the decline of local news. Social media is no substitute: It supercharges the mental habits by which we seek emotional stimulation and comfort, which means losing the distinction between what feels true and what actually is true.

Post-truth wears away the rule of law and invites a regime of myth. These last four years, scholars have discussed the legitimacy and value of invoking fascism in reference to Trumpian propaganda. One comfortable position has been to label any such effort as a direct comparison and then to treat such comparisons as taboo. More productively, the philosopher Jason Stanley has treated fascism as a phenomenon, as a series of patterns that can be observed not only in interwar Europe but beyond it.

My own view is that greater knowledge of the past, fascist or otherwise, allows us to notice and conceptualize elements of the present that we might otherwise disregard and to think more broadly about future possibilities. It was clear to me in October that Trump’s behavior presaged a coup, and I said so in print; this is not because the present repeats the past, but because the past enlightens the present.

Like historical fascist leaders, Trump has presented himself as the single source of truth. His use of the term “fake news” echoed the Nazi smear Lügenpresse (“lying press”); like the Nazis, he referred to reporters as “enemies of the people.” Like Adolf Hitler, he came to power at a moment when the conventional press had taken a beating; the financial crisis of 2008 did to American newspapers what the Great Depression did to German ones. The Nazis thought that they could use radio to replace the old pluralism of the newspaper; Trump tried to do the same with Twitter.

Thanks to technological capacity and personal talent, Donald Trump lied at a pace perhaps unmatched by any other leader in history. For the most part these were small lies, and their main effect was cumulative. To believe in all of them was to accept the authority of a single man, because to believe in all of them was to disbelieve everything else. Once such personal authority was established, the president could treat everyone else as the liars; he even had the power to turn someone from a trusted adviser into a dishonest scoundrel with a single tweet. Yet so long as he was unable to enforce some truly big lie, some fantasy that created an alternative reality where people could live and die, his pre-fascism fell short of the thing itself.

Some of his lies were, admittedly, medium-size: that he was a successful businessman; that Russia did not support him in 2016; that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Such medium-size lies were the standard fare of aspiring authoritarians in the 21st century. In Poland the right-wing party built a martyrdom cult around assigning blame to political rivals for an airplane crash that killed the nation’s president. Hungary’s Viktor Orban blames a vanishingly small number of Muslim refugees for his country’s problems. But such claims were not quite big lies; they stretched but did not rend what Hannah Arendt called “the fabric of factuality.”

One historical big lie discussed by Arendt is Joseph Stalin’s explanation of starvation in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-33. The state had collectivized agriculture, then applied a series of punitive measures to Ukraine that ensured millions would die. Yet the official line was that the starving were provocateurs, agents of Western powers who hated socialism so much they were killing themselves. A still grander fiction, in Arendt’s account, is Hitlerian anti-Semitism: the claims that Jews ran the world, Jews were responsible for ideas that poisoned German minds, Jews stabbed Germany in the back during the First World War. Intriguingly, Arendt thought big lies work only in lonely minds; their coherence substitutes for experience and companionship.

In November 2020, reaching millions of lonely minds through social media, Trump told a lie that was dangerously ambitious: that he had won an election that in fact he had lost. This lie was big in every pertinent respect: not as big as “Jews run the world,” but big enough. The significance of the matter at hand was great: the right to rule the most powerful country in the world and the efficacy and trustworthiness of its succession procedures. The level of mendacity was profound. The claim was not only wrong, but it was also made in bad faith, amid unreliable sources. It challenged not just evidence but logic: Just how could (and why would) an election have been rigged against a Republican president but not against Republican senators and representatives? Trump had to speak, absurdly, of a “Rigged (for President) Election.”

The force of a big lie resides in its demand that many other things must be believed or disbelieved. To make sense of a world in which the 2020 presidential election was stolen requires distrust not only of reporters and of experts but also of local, state and federal government institutions, from poll workers to elected officials, Homeland Security and all the way to the Supreme Court. It brings with it, of necessity, a conspiracy theory: Imagine all the people who must have been in on such a plot and all the people who would have had to work on the cover-up.

Trump’s electoral fiction floats free of verifiable reality. It is defended not so much by facts as by claims that someone else has made some claims. The sensibility is that something must be wrong because I feel it to be wrong, and I know others feel the same way. When political leaders such as Ted Cruz or Jim Jordan spoke like this, what they meant was: You believe my lies, which compels me to repeat them. Social media provides an infinity of apparent evidence for any conviction, especially one seemingly held by a president.

On the surface, a conspiracy theory makes its victim look strong: It sees Trump as resisting the Democrats, the Republicans, the Deep State, the pedophiles, the Satanists. More profoundly, however, it inverts the position of the strong and the weak. Trump’s focus on alleged “irregularities” and “contested states” comes down to cities where Black people live and vote. At bottom, the fantasy of fraud is that of a crime committed by Black people against white people.

It’s not just that electoral fraud by African-Americans against Donald Trump never happened. It is that it is the very opposite of what happened, in 2020 and in every American election. As always, Black people waited longer than others to vote and were more likely to have their votes challenged. They were more likely to be suffering or dying from Covid-19, and less likely to be able to take time away from work. The historical protection of their right to vote has been removed by the Supreme Court’s 2013 ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, and states have rushed to pass measures of a kind that historically reduce voting by the poor and communities of color.

The claim that Trump was denied a win by fraud is a big lie not just because it mauls logic, misdescribes the present and demands belief in a conspiracy. It is a big lie, fundamentally, because it reverses the moral field of American politics and the basic structure of American history.

When Senator Ted Cruz announced his intention to challenge the Electoral College vote, he invoked the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the presidential election of 1876. Commentators pointed out that this was no relevant precedent, since back then there really were serious voter irregularities and there really was a stalemate in Congress. For African-Americans, however, the seemingly gratuitous reference led somewhere else. The Compromise of 1877 — in which Rutherford B. Hayes would have the presidency, provided that he withdrew federal power from the South — was the very arrangement whereby African-Americans were driven from voting booths for the better part of a century. It was effectively the end of Reconstruction, the beginning of segregation, legal discrimination and Jim Crow. It is the original sin of American history in the post-slavery era, our closest brush with fascism so far.

If the reference seemed distant when Ted Cruz and 10 senatorial colleagues released their statement on Jan. 2, it was brought very close four days later, when Confederate flags were paraded through the Capitol.

Some things have changed since 1877, of course. Back then, it was the Republicans, or many of them, who supported racial equality; it was the Democrats, the party of the South, who wanted apartheid. It was the Democrats, back then, who called African-Americans’ votes fraudulent, and the Republicans who wanted them counted. This is now reversed. In the past half century, since the Civil Rights Act, Republicans have become a predominantly white party interested — as Trump openly declared — in keeping the number of voters, and particularly the number of Black voters, as low as possible. Yet the common thread remains. Watching white supremacists among the people storming the Capitol, it was easy to yield to the feeling that something pure had been violated. It might be better to see the episode as part of a long American argument about who deserves representation.

The Democrats, today, have become a coalition, one that does better than Republicans with female and nonwhite voters and collects votes from both labor unions and the college-educated. Yet it’s not quite right to contrast this coalition with a monolithic Republican Party. Right now, the Republican Party is a coalition of two types of people: those who would game the system (most of the politicians, some of the voters) and those who dream of breaking it (a few of the politicians, many of the voters). In January 2021, this was visible as the difference between those Republicans who defended the present system on the grounds that it favored them and those who tried to upend it.

In the four decades since the election of Ronald Reagan, Republicans have overcome the tension between the gamers and the breakers by governing in opposition to government, or by calling elections a revolution (the Tea Party), or by claiming to oppose elites. The breakers, in this arrangement, provide cover for the gamers, putting forth an ideology that distracts from the basic reality that government under Republicans is not made smaller but simply diverted to serve a handful of interests.

At first, Trump seemed like a threat to this balance. His lack of experience in politics and his open racism made him a very uncomfortable figure for the party; his habit of continually telling lies was initially found by prominent Republicans to be uncouth. Yet after he won the presidency, his particular skills as a breaker seemed to create a tremendous opportunity for the gamers. Led by the gamer in chief, McConnell, they secured hundreds of federal judges and tax cuts for the rich.

Trump was unlike other breakers in that he seemed to have no ideology. His objection to institutions was that they might constrain him personally. He intended to break the system to serve himself — and this is partly why he has failed. Trump is a charismatic politician and inspires devotion not only among voters but among a surprising number of lawmakers, but he has no vision that is greater than himself or what his admirers project upon him. In this respect his pre-fascism fell short of fascism: His vision never went further than a mirror. He arrived at a truly big lie not from any view of the world but from the reality that he might lose something.

Yet Trump never prepared a decisive blow. He lacked the support of the military, some of whose leaders he had alienated. (No true fascist would have made the mistake he did there, which was to openly love foreign dictators; supporters convinced that the enemy was at home might not mind, but those sworn to protect from enemies abroad did.) Trump’s secret police force, the men carrying out snatch operations in Portland, was violent but also small and ludicrous. Social media proved to be a blunt weapon: Trump could announce his intentions on Twitter, and white supremacists could plan their invasion of the Capitol on Facebook or Gab. But the president, for all his lawsuits and entreaties and threats to public officials, could not engineer a situation that ended with the right people doing the wrong thing. Trump could make some voters believe that he had won the 2020 election, but he was unable to bring institutions along with his big lie. And he could bring his supporters to Washington and send them on a rampage in the Capitol, but none appeared to have any very clear idea of how this was to work or what their presence would accomplish. It is hard to think of a comparable insurrectionary moment, when a building of great significance was seized, that involved so much milling around.

The lie outlasts the liar. The idea that Germany lost the First World War in 1918 because of a Jewish “stab in the back” was 15 years old when Hitler came to power. How will Trump’s myth of victimhood function in American life 15 years from now? And to whose benefit?

On Jan. 7, Trump called for a peaceful transition of power, implicitly conceding that his putsch had failed. Even then, though, he repeated and even amplified his electoral fiction: It was now a sacred cause for which people had sacrificed. Trump’s imagined stab in the back will live on chiefly thanks to its endorsement by members of Congress. In November and December 2020, Republicans repeated it, giving it a life it would not otherwise have had. In retrospect, it now seems as though the last shaky compromise between the gamers and the breakers was the idea that Trump should have every chance to prove that wrong had been done to him. That position implicitly endorsed the big lie for Trump supporters who were inclined to believe it. It failed to restrain Trump, whose big lie only grew bigger.

The breakers and the gamers then saw a different world ahead, where the big lie was either a treasure to be had or a danger to be avoided. The breakers had no choice but to rush to be first to claim to believe in it. Because the breakers Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz must compete to claim the brimstone and bile, the gamers were forced to reveal their own hand, and the division within the Republican coalition became visible on Jan. 6. The invasion of the Capitol only reinforced this division. To be sure, a few senators withdrew their objections, but Cruz and Hawley moved forward anyway, along with six other senators. More than 100 representatives doubled down on the big lie. Some, like Matt Gaetz, even added their own flourishes, such as the claim that the mob was led not by Trump’s supporters but by his opponents.

Trump is, for now, the martyr in chief, the high priest of the big lie. He is the leader of the breakers, at least in the minds of his supporters. By now, the gamers do not want Trump around. Discredited in his last weeks, he is useless; shorn of the obligations of the presidency, he will become embarrassing again, much as he was in 2015. Unable to provide cover for their gamesmanship, he will be irrelevant to their daily purposes. But the breakers have an even stronger reason to see Trump disappear: It is impossible to inherit from someone who is still around. Seizing Trump’s big lie might appear to be a gesture of support. In fact it expresses a wish for his political death. Transforming the myth from one about Trump to one about the nation will be easier when he is out of the way.

As Cruz and Hawley may learn, to tell the big lie is to be owned by it. Just because you have sold your soul does not mean that you have driven a hard bargain. Hawley shies from no level of hypocrisy; the son of a banker, educated at Stanford University and Yale Law School, he denounces elites. Insofar as Cruz was thought to have a principle, it was that of states’ rights, which Trump’s calls to action brazenly violated. A joint statement Cruz issued about the senators’ challenge to the vote nicely captured the post-truth aspect of the whole: It never alleged that there was fraud, only that there were allegations of fraud. Allegations of allegations, allegations all the way down.

The big lie requires commitment. When Republican gamers do not exhibit enough of that, Republican breakers call them “RINOs”: Republicans in name only. This term once suggested a lack of ideological commitment. It now means an unwillingness to throw away an election. The gamers, in response, close ranks around the Constitution and speak of principles and traditions. The breakers must all know (with the possible exception of the Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville) that they are participating in a sham, but they will have an audience of tens of millions who do not.

If Trump remains present in American political life, he will surely repeat his big lie incessantly. Hawley and Cruz and the other breakers share responsibility for where this leads. Cruz and Hawley seem to be running for president. Yet what does it mean to be a candidate for office and denounce voting? If you claim that the other side has cheated, and your supporters believe you, they will expect you to cheat yourself. By defending Trump’s big lie on Jan. 6, they set a precedent: A Republican presidential candidate who loses an election should be appointed anyway by Congress. Republicans in the future, at least breaker candidates for president, will presumably have a Plan A, to win and win, and a Plan B, to lose and win. No fraud is necessary; only allegations that there are allegations of fraud. Truth is to be replaced by spectacle, facts by faith.

Trump’s coup attempt of 2020-21, like other failed coup attempts, is a warning for those who care about the rule of law and a lesson for those who do not. His pre-fascism revealed a possibility for American politics. For a coup to work in 2024, the breakers will require something that Trump never quite had: an angry minority, organized for nationwide violence, ready to add intimidation to an election. Four years of amplifying a big lie just might get them this. To claim that the other side stole an election is to promise to steal one yourself. It is also to claim that the other side deserves to be punished.

Informed observers inside and outside government agree that right-wing white supremacism is the greatest terrorist threat to the United States. Gun sales in 2020 hit an astonishing high. History shows that political violence follows when prominent leaders of major political parties openly embrace paranoia.

Our big lie is typically American, wrapped in our odd electoral system, depending upon our particular traditions of racism. Yet our big lie is also structurally fascist, with its extreme mendacity, its conspiratorial thinking, its reversal of perpetrators and victims and its implication that the world is divided into us and them. To keep it going for four years courts terrorism and assassination.

When that violence comes, the breakers will have to react. If they embrace it, they become the fascist faction. The Republican Party will be divided, at least for a time. One can of course imagine a dismal reunification: A breaker candidate loses a narrow presidential election in November 2024 and cries fraud, the Republicans win both houses of Congress and rioters in the street, educated by four years of the big lie, demand what they see as justice. Would the gamers stand on principle if those were the circumstances of Jan. 6, 2025?

To be sure, this moment is also a chance. It is possible that a divided Republican Party might better serve American democracy; that the gamers, separated from the breakers, might start to think of policy as a way to win elections. It is very likely that the Biden-Harris administration will have an easier first few months than expected; perhaps obstructionism will give way, at least among a few Republicans and for a short time, to a moment of self-questioning. Politicians who want Trumpism to end have a simple way forward: Tell the truth about the election.

America will not survive the big lie just because a liar is separated from power. It will need a thoughtful repluralization of media and a commitment to facts as a public good. The racism structured into every aspect of the coup attempt is a call to heed our own history. Serious attention to the past helps us to see risks but also suggests future possibility. We cannot be a democratic republic if we tell lies about race, big or small. Democracy is not about minimizing the vote nor ignoring it, neither a matter of gaming nor of breaking a system, but of accepting the equality of others, heeding their voices and counting their votes.

Timothy Snyder is the Levin professor of history at Yale University and the author of histories of political atrocity including “Bloodlands” and “Black Earth,” as well as the book “On Tyranny,” on America’s turn toward authoritarianism. His most recent book is “Our Malady,” a memoir of his own near-fatal illness reflecting on the relationship between health and freedom.
