I have to constantly ask myself if these people are really that stupid and blind or are they counting on the ignorance of their audience to gain a political following.
At this point, I honestly don’t know.
Hollande, like most Socialists, probably grew up admiring dictators such as Castro. He could no doubt recite all the propaganda and myths about Socialism and it’s ‘folk heroes’.
For folks like Hollande, this may feel like when the boxer Muhammad Ali died last year.
