WNU,
I don't know. If this latest move doesn't work, it's either resignation or the iron rod.

Macron, Pelosi, Kamela Harris, Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsome they are pretty much the same. They are smarter than the masses but want so desperately to speak for the masses and lead them. When the masses turn their backs on these socialists, its not the leaders who reflect and question what they did wrong, its the rod for the masses.

Leftism is addicted to infallibility.

"it's the rod for the masses." As various "want to be strong men" down through history can tell you, application of the rod can some very unexpected and surprising results.

Does anyone really believe that Marcon would resign? lol
He will cling on for dear life, to the brink of announcing himself as a dictator.

But who knows, the French people have a habit of making some of the worlds most grand protests in history. Maybe they will revolt long before Marcon resigns. Just wait until spring when the temperature rises and more people go out on the streets.

I would argue that they are restless.
