#4 Indeed, @#2. "Populism" is code for the likes of Trump, Orban, Meloni, all MAGA (or country equivalent) types which must be crushed.

The Fauci Flu measures conveniently put pretty much a stop to the Yellow Vest "mob". And to think it pretty much all [peacefully] originated from rural residents who were quite ticked off at higher fuel prices who don't have the benefit of a urban transportation system and rely on their cars and tractors.

But, Macron got reelected, so they must really like him there in la belle France, right? lol
