There were some hopeful signs in the last election. The question remains as to whether the increased turnout and participation will continue. After all, being anti-Trump is obviously a very powerful motivator. Maybe if the average American didn’t spend several hours per day glued to the television things would change. Certainly, if less Americans were trapped in the paycheck-to-paycheck one step from poverty cycle or in actual poverty things would improve. If I were cynical, I would suggest that many of the rich and powerful like it like that.
Why would we consider the French to be Wimps? If the French hadn’t fought on the American side during the Revolution, we’d be British citizens. The entire “wimp” thing is because France fell in a few days against the Nazis. So did everyone else who had a common border. Choosing one event from the entire scope of human history is a pretty illogical attitude.
Rioters in France are calling American wimps, because Americans will put up with corporations stealing our government from us. They are putting us to shame – while our own companies rob us blind. The French are showing us how to deal with criminals in business suits.

Not when it comes to being democratic citizens. Americans in that area however are turning out to be burger-eating surrender monkeys.
