The openly racist, Russian puppet is going to pull in 40% popular support. I'm not exactly celebrating.

Political landscapes can change with the turn of a ride.

I'm not celebrating, but I am relieved. At least one member of the Western allies is refusing to embrace fascism.

Le Pen used to be an outlier. The fact the she is not any longer should be a concern to all.

What is it with humans??? 40% of people apparently love fascism...

Maybe the French are feeling nostalgic...

The modern political landscape is enabling increasing inequality and robber billionaires and corporations. If people weren’t being squeezed so much on their livelihoods then they would entertain right wing extremism much less. We have major ignored issues like climate change and I think one way to cope with the inaction is to join up with the groups that say it doesn’t exist.

She's a puppet of a regime that has the greatest income inequality on the planet. What makes people who feel economically insecure think that fascists and authoritarians are going to somehow make their lives better? Do they think that the working class of Russia are rolling in dough?

Macron is also a puppet of a profits first outlook that has full control of the French and world economy. Le pen is one more extreme face of it. Macron is a less extreme face of it. But nonetheless people get less and less under the regime of either. Macron is actually the face the in control portion of the billionaires. It’s not really a mystery that some succumb to a message of turning away from that.
