I think what is happening right now in France is quite important. It’s beginning to spread to other countries. This isn’t a “left wing” protest. And it isn’t just about fuel taxes, it’s about everything that the left has foisted upon the people of Europe and they are fed up! I’ve heard that many have been chanting “WE WANT TRUMP!”. Have you seen the videos of the police removing their helmets in solidarity with the protesters? What we are witnessing over there is what could have happened here if HRC would have won. Is the MSM reporting this story? I don’t know as I don’t follow them BUT I doubt that they are.

btw, I’m guessing the car burning rioters are from the left. They should be discounted.

The beauty of the situation is that while George Soros is fixated on Trump and RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA his home base in continental Europe is imploding beneath his feet.

I’m of the opinion that Europe got the government(s) it deserves.

I believe the car burning is from the middle class French and is significant as was the shutting down of gas pipes. And especially the wearing of driving vests - significant.

They have had huge enough fuel increases from carbon taxes that they are fed up - these are truckdrivers, fishermen, construction workers from outlying provinces, with some additional elements from extreme groups joining in.

Maybe 70% of their income is being taken before they get paid. I'd burn cars too.
