Of course, the French voted in all these policies.

I’m no fan of the EU or Macron, but holding ridiculous politics and then ultimately storming the government you voted in isn’t really a great approach to things.

Agreed. We have some 40 million people in the U.S. employed by multiple levels of government in various ways including contractors. Then there are the NGOs and other entities subsidized. They are taking us towards socialism more than any other group, and many of them are certainly not essential to us. Many of them are even deleterious.

There are about as many people using social programs, but they, as a group, are far less political than the employees who receive leftist indoctrination in universities, employee association (government union) newsletters, etc.

Too much big government spending on high salaries and benefits, and all of us will need to get politically involved (including funding, at least small bits from each of us) to reverse it! We need more manufacturing instead! That’s the only way we’ll reduce the piles of debt and balance budgets.

How can you say that? LE Pen got a huge percent of the vote. The Yellow Jackets are the people that live in exo-burbs and rural areas. They drive cars and take care of themselves. Like in the US, those are are conservatives.
