When they're right populists, they should. Fascism is the most dangerous enemy of almost every non-fascist ideology, partly because of that populism. It seduces people into believing things like nationalism and the expansion of military power will fix their material suffering.

I can't imagine fn gaining in the second round too much, but its still worrying that she got a plurality.

But the EU is safe for now, which is good news long term. I can imagine conservatives adopting stronger anti-migrant stuff in the hope of siphoning of votes, so the next election is probably going to involve all major players promising an EU army of one variety or another.

She didn't get a plurality. Macron's count started pulling ahead half an hour ago. Also Melenchon might just barely tie Fillon.

Oh, and neolibs and anarchists should shake hands to stop fascists when they're non-white, female, or queer because it's hard to build a counter-movement when you're deported, denied the vote, or dead.

This thought briefly flash through my head on american election night. I thought to myself that even though everything said Trump wouldn't win, I should go and place a sizeable bet that he would, because Nothing Good Ever Happens. i did not do this because i am also a coward

this is a natural result of having your candidates never keep their promises: "she doesn't really mean that she'll axe gay marriage!"

unfortunately, centrist's two-faced private face/public face bullshit leaves voters unable to tell if a candidate is being honest or just bullshitting, even when they really need to like when the candidate is a fascist
