According to CBS News, “An unusually high turnout of voters spelled the end of the French far right’s dream of taking power in the legislature. A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly ahead of France’s snap election won the most parliamentary seats in the vote, according to early projections. The surprising result put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second and the far right dropped to third place.”
No doubt about it, Macron is the man of the moment. Just when political pundits thought he was crazy for calling a snap election and just when those same morons thought he had dug his own political grave after the far-right’s better-than-expected showing in the first round of voting, he perhaps pulled off a not-so-surprising victory in the second round of voting. I say not-so-surprising victory — although for many, it was a surprise that the center and left held — because I sensed that when Macron called for a snap election, daring the nation to put Le Pen’s far-right party in charge, he’d come out on top. And, as it turns out, he called it correctly! French citizens would not tolerate such a notion of a return to neo-Nazis controlling the country, and, indeed, with the largest turnout since 1980, they came out to vote, rejecting the far-right party. Now, I am surprised only in so far as it would seem there is a limit to the far-right’s power and popularity in Europe despite an anti-incumbency movement on the continent.
What might this portend for America’s elections in November? Sadly, nothing. I have no doubt that this sh*t-for-brains nation will elect its first American dictator because citizens simply are not smart enough to avoid traitor trump again. I’ll say it one more time: Biden is merely the intermission to the end of America’s democracy! Mark my words! I’ve been saying it for four years. Welcome to stupid America!
