I’m speaking in general terms because I’m not familiar with French politics, I just live in a neighboring country. But are we really surprised that it’s moving in that direction? In a general sense, the right will always blossom in climates like these, migrants pouring in from decades of war, prices skyrocketing, the Russia affair further polarizing and instilling fear, a general lack of progress. But more importantly, while the right does its best to cultivate the most basic of emotional responses, the left seems unable to come up with anything attractive let alone exciting. And we can argue that progress and good choices can be utterly dull and unappealing, at some point we will have to realize that good ideas still need to be marketed to the people and that it’s not enough to equate anything right-wing with fascism and hope that it will do the heavy lifting. We have become preoccupied with complaining about the right in such a way that we can no longer allow critique of what the left is failing to do. If they can do no good then we can do no wrong.
It’s a combination of fools and fool-proof fascist propaganda. What liberals did was, as usual, to tolerate fascists and their propaganda (and refused to reduce the power of capitalists).
He’s the one to blame for the far right’s victory with his same-same language, has he pushed the discourse that the left party is in fact a dangerous antisemitic far left party.
The left party was the first to pull out of races to let macron’s representatives win against the far right, even though it would cost them much more.
It’s Marine Le Pen, and her goon Jordan Bardella (who has Algerian origins from his grandmother but ignores that completely and prefers talking about his Italian origins from his grandfather)
what did France recently do to leap ahead?
Marie Le Pew’s far-right party is gathering more followers for ? reasons?

Macron’s party is pulling out of races to give the socialists a better chance of cutting off the nazis.
It could work. We will see.
Don’t give them too much credit, everyone’s doing it and they were the last to do so too.
Don’t give Macron too much credit here.

Macron is an absolute POS.
Marie Le Pew sounds way too nice for that POS
It’s Marine Le Pen, and her goon Jordan Bardella (who has Algerian origins from his grandmother but ignores that completely and prefers talking about his Italian origins from his grandfather)
Yes, right. That.
The reason being that a single fascist billionaire owns several TV channels, radio stations and newspapers.
Hey - Hey, I’ve seen this one!
Le Penis party didn’t achieve anything yet.
Whatever it was, the US Supreme Court deciding that presidents are immune from prosecution beats it by a very, very long shot.
People think that Macrons gambit was a mistake.
They’re wrong, but its what they think.
