I hoping you’re wrong but betting you’re right. France is likely to end up with various Macron clones on their march to Nirvana led by that famous leader of the people: Big Brother.
Clueless is probably the wrong word to describe the Yellow Jackets. More like “fractured” in their view of the role of govt. in their lives.
