And don’t kid yourselves about the yellow vests. These people consider themselves the “real French”, just like Sarah Palin’s “real Americans.” They are not leftists. Like miners in Kentucky, they want more benefits for themselves, but less for others.

It’s more complicated than that. The urban protests tend to be left wing, while the rural protests lean right. Both sides do not want the far-right involved.
