I doubt Le Pen will win but if she did at least there'd be the bright side of the EU getting hosed a little more.

I said this before but it bears repeating: Macron is Trump for people who, instead of believing everything the National Enquirer says, believe everything the Economist says.

This thread increasingly convinces me that Macron is the right man to lead France.

The antidote to the far right isn't the far left.

You think the far left is social democrats though.

You should see the Daily Stormer (far right/alt right blog or podcast or something)'s take on what Macron said. I don't even want to link or quote it because, obviously, it's racist as all hell, but they basically said "Macron's not being racist he's just talking common sense and everyone's triggered"

For real though, what Macron said wasn't wrong because he identified high fecundity as a problem, it was wrong because he misrepresented how demographic transition works. He has the cause and effect backwards. Countries don't become developed because people decide to stop having kids; people stop having kids because countries become developed, and they don't feel like they need 7-8 dice rolls just to be sure two of them to survive to adulthood. That's how it happened in every developed country with a stable or declining population, and folks aren't gonna just spontaneously stop having kids because Jupiter said it would be nice.

everyone in the world has already figured out that you can get away with anything as long as you butter up trump first. hes gonna get manipulated by every world leader lol

Trump seriously thought he was going to win every interaction with world leaders because none of them had ever encountered a charming person or bully before.
