Western Europe Is A Warning For Americans

Normally, images of trash cans and police cars set ablaze on the streets of Paris would hardly be out of the ordinary for your average Frenchman. After all, riots and protests have become something of a national pastime in France.

But the unrest that has gripped France since late September should give any Westerner — and certainly any American — pause. We are not immune to the consequences of the political ideologies taking hold across Western Europe. Their growing influence should warn Americans about the ideas increasingly championed by members of the Democratic Party.

Legacy media outlets will tell you these protests stem from inadequate funding for French schools, outdated textbooks, and a teacher shortage. These “protests” are ostensibly being led by students, activists, and revolutionaries à la Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables.
