    God, Macron is aggressively stupid. Or aggressively hubristic, as fitting for a man who declared his intentions to rule like a Graeco-Roman god.

    It’s getting repetitive saying this every time someone somewhere resists something, but this is how you do it, Americans.

      As a French, this is actually not. Macron doesn’t care how many millions take to the streets. Last time we were 2 millions and the polls said 90% were against macron and he didn’t flinch. Now what we need is a big, general strike. It’s the only thing still legal that would make him change his policies

      The last protest in America against Trump was the “No Kings” protest. It had over five million people in attendance across 2,100+ locations.

      Another one is planned for October 18th. Conservatives are attempting to alter the narrative of this by creating a momorial day for Charlie Kirk on the 14th, but it’s also the birthday of George Floyd.

      I am guessing this protest will be the target of violence planned by the Trump administration. Still going to attend, though.

        Who… walked around and made some noise. Tell me when there’s fire on highways. Or when, you know, y’all actually do something on a weekday.
