macron is like straight using the FN's words, where immigration is a "problem", from whom people (fn voters) are victims of

very cool

and he's attacking the "elite" for being blind to the problems caused by immigration, even though he's a loving investment banker

It's about time.
A few days after Marine Le Pen welcomed the appointment of the EU Commissioner for Brown Paper Bag Testing, as well. She called it an ideological victory and you know what, she's not wrong.

But blaming it all on immigrants when your economic policies are blatantly poo poo and only benefit the rich is Right Wing President 101, after all.

Edit: And of course immigrants are never poor in France, this wonderland of economic opportunity where poo poo jobs don't exist.

It's what new labour did and we see how that turned out. People don't vote for the racist neoliberals when the proper racists are offering more

I drove from Bergerac to Bordeaux recently and there was anti macron stuff spray painted by the side of the road

A mix of "why don't they just shoot everyone ??", complaining at the mild inconvenience of people protesting in Paris when they could do this in Dreux just fine, and getting offended at dumb stuff like the Foot locker and the rolex store getting sacked.

That's their way of downplaying the fact that the greens and the gilets jaunes actually joined forces for once. Throughout the whole day I heard one old lady complain that the bloc hijacked the protest. That's it. I know some people (esp. those with children) left the marche once it became clear the level of intensity would be too high for them but that's a minority. The official joint statement issued by the organizers does not blame the bloc or the vests:

https://twitter.com/MaximCombes/status/1175685952913772544?s=20

"At 4:45pm, 45 minutes after the march started, police forces summarily threw dozens of grenades at the participants despite the march being autorized. Due to the brutality of this attack -which is unprecedented in our movement- the tens of thousands of protesters gathered there were forced to retreat or leave. This is a deliberate attempt by our government to silence dissent."

Also, Taranis is out:

Meanwhile the same dipshit pundits that cheer on the methods of our beloved riot forces are being smug about how the French just must not care that much about climate change if we don't do the same numbers the biggest foreign protests manage to do.

Sarkozy was more polarizing by constantly trolling and nobody respected Hollande, Macron is the best of both worlds for them because he's openly an rear end in a top hat but mostly against people the mainstream press doesn't respect to begin with.
