direstraits posted:The Yellow Vest brought down the government in Belgium. Brits are struggling for a Brexit -- to leave the EU, which has morphed from a simple trade and free travel confederation into a bureaucracy that issues ukases on everything from the required curvature of a banana to who may fish in British waters (hint, its not the Brits). The Eu has a toothless parliament that can only vote of approved matters.
Democrats politicized, then weaponized the IRS against the Tea Party movement. Killing that resulted in Trump -- are you happy Demmies? The MSM is now the Democrat Ministry of Propaganda. Yet, Trump keeps Trumping.
But analysts also see Macron's perceived arrogance, top-down governing style, and tax policies favouring high earners as reasons behind the "yellow vest" revolt.
That sounds like someone we know.
