Interesting that he got exactly the percentage of the vote as the “exit” polls predicted.

That usually happens in French elections. The same for Israeli elections. The same for elections in the United Kingdom.

Exit polls work better when you don't have 350 million people and the 3rd largest nation by geography in the world.

People will whine and b&*th about election fraud as usual but the truth is fraud is baked in by default for a rightwing candidate to overcome. The French right simply doubled down after lepen’s first loss and repeated what they did last time without asking themselves what about the infrastructure embedded and deeper reasons in society that allows the left to maintain control against the narrative. Nothing will likely change if all you do is whine about swimming against a current and then repeat the same thing next time. Same thing for Trump. People complain incessantly about fraud in 2020 but their big brained idea is do the exact same thing and run him again and hope things will be different next time. You don’t win elections simply by focusing on elections but on winning the wider culture war.

Still, Marie La Pen did much better than in 2017.

France should be ruled by Marion Maréchal.

The last sentence is true because she loved money.

Many think this guy is primed to be the leader of the New World Order. Some say he may be the coming Antichrist from a revived New Roman Empire.
