Freepers can decide for themselves the extent to which political trends in France resemble those in the US.

France has always been a good friend to the US. It’s always right there when it needs us.

When they say “Americanization” they are referring to the decadent, depraved, hedonistic, left wing Americans, i.e. those members of the scum-of-the-earth democratic party.

[Tell It Right]

I dunno.

For starters, it's not like rioting in France began in the 1980's. The Réveillon Riots about runaway inflation was before even Brandon was born (1780's).

And, well, let's be honest about Catholicism's decline in France. Yes, the white folk French are probably becoming more secular, but the mass invading rapefugees are more muslim than a Hillary culture advisor.

Its interesting how for Jerôme Fourquet, what Americans call globalization, for French means “Americanization.”

[Seruzawa]

The French love Americans! French people can be found in airports, hotels and bistros extending their hands to visiting Americans in friendship... palms up.

Interesting read, thanks for posting. I agree with the author - the divide here is similar and is shaping along class lines. It may be wishful thinking, but I believe it is bad for the Democrat party. And that makes me smile.

The globalists have captured America.

True, but snotty. Richer, more educated Frenchies aren't any better. Nor were they as great in the past as they thought they were.

But France was right when they didn't get suckered and sucked into Bush's Iraq adventure.

The French Commune is all you need to know.

The Maries of French tradition were replaced by Kevins (after Home Alone) and Dylans (after Beverly Hills 90210).

Do those Kevins and Dylans say their names the American way or the French way? The French pronunciation would be considerably different from the American.

While the author has brought up some salient points, I am wary of anybody who quotes Gramsci.

The most common trend it seems between the U.S. and France involves “the common” people the most and it is the transformation and export of work and jobs, mostly to Asia, which affected “stocks” far less than it did the populations that have reduced job expectations today. In sum “off shoring” affected France in ways similar to how it affected the U.S. but the price of it was not born by the elites and the common folk can see that.

I’m sure the American e!ites are teaching the French elites how to steal the election.
