Will the U.S. Have Its Own Yellow-Vest Moment?

Discussion in 'Opinion POLLS' started by KJohnson, Jan 26, 2019.

?

Is it time for conservatives to join the yellow vest movement?

  1. Yes, I believe we should if we expect justice and change

  2. No, we should just remain quiet sheep doing nothing

  3. Democrat corruption and gestapo tactics are a good thing

  4. I believe in corruption but only by the democratic party

  5. Depends on the weather

Results are only viewable after voting.

    OP

    It might be the beginning of the West's 'Arab Spring'? That'd frighten the complacent political and elitist classes?

    Conservatives rallying against their own beloved Trump?

    Heh.

    Anyway, according to Wikipedia, the movement in France "...is motivated by rising fuel prices, high cost of living, and claims that a disproportionate burden of the government's tax reforms were falling on the working and middle classes."

    These are all things that conservatives support, if you look at the GOP platform.

    When Bernie Sanders talked about wealth inequality and the high cost of living, conservatives called him all kinds of names.

    I think, perhaps, you are thinking of a 'red vest movement'? The yellow vest movement would protest Trump...

    Most of them are smarter than us. They pay no attention to politics.

    Yellow vest are anti communism as anyone that's anti globalisation is.

    Yellow vest belong to people who actually done a days work outside of France hence no DNC supporter would ever be seen dead in one.

    Fuel excise
    Cost of living rises due to less earners paying for more moochers
    Collusion with corporate sector to screw the poor

    It's not a directly left or right platform, it reflects the concerns of both sides who are, above all else, sick of the government, corporate, internationalist cabal controlling their lives.

    We had a "Occupy Wall Street" movement, but that fizzled out pretty quickly.

    A LONG time ago I heard a wise man say, "You don't get real revolutions in countries where people eat three times a day". :knifefork:
