Someone posted me offlist pointing out they aren’t fighting the gendarmes, who are nowhere to be found.  OK, point taken.

 

Dwayne’s comment has me thinking about historical analogies.  Recognizing I have a huge blind spot on French history I viewed the excellent Napoleon movie from about three years ago and got up to Wiki speed on the main points.  Dwayne was right: Napoleon is a much better analogy for the current POTUS than either of the 20th century leaders to whom he has been compared.
