I wonder if someone could make a series of movie trailers for each republic with the executive producer being the US and having all sorts of poor takes.

Executive Producer: "No, no, we need LESS military oversight for the next one, SPEND MORE on practical explosions, the audience will love it!"
Director: "But sir, we already had half an hour of explosions, the most common criticism was about the confusing plot which was always interrupted by explosion sequences."
Executive Producer: "We need those to keep the audience on their toes! We can't plan explosion scenes we need to let the invisible hand of the free market decide and let us know!!"

Lol I can see that working.

It's fucking weird though thinking about France being on their Fifth republic over a period since the 1700s and these 6 occurring in.... 60 years.

It is impossible for any normal unpropagandised person to look at this scenario and not see something is up that's worth scrutinising.

And France had some really legit reasons for that count like having monarchy restaurated twice and being occupied by nazis.
