He really doesn’t have any constituency to speak of. That’s why his polls are around 20% (probably lower now).
On the economy, he has fairly sane policies - reform the labor laws so people can be hired and fired/laid off more easily, stop gouging the rich (eliminated the wealth tax), reduce tax on investment income, reduce regulations, fight national unions.
But this has created powerful enemies with the national unions and the envious class - the egalite’ crowd (their version of our SJW).
He has also managed to alienate all the nationalists with his coddling of immigrants and globalism. That’s the LePen constituency, a big chunk of the electorate.
And his warmist gas tax and “let them eat cake attitude” was the straw that broke the back of the average Joe.
The unions have been fighting him in the street for a while. This is nothing new. The carbon tax merely added more ammo. However, this idea that this is some freedom revolt is nuts.
‘They’ always want someone else to pay for the goodies.
