Benighted voters, for all the wrong reasons, voting against their own best interests as determined by the ruling class, are upending French politics. From Joel Bowman at joelbowman.substack.com:
French voters reject Macron and the Eurocrats as the Republic falls to riots

Tide comes in; tide goes out. Today, we wonder…
Does the European political pendulum, lately seen swinging to the right, portend anything for the rest of the western world?
The big story out of France over the weekend was that voters turned out in record numbers to support Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) Party, trouncing smug incumbent and Klaus Schwab’s favorite WEF plaything, Emmanuel Macron, and his globalist Together Party.

Ms. Le Pen’s RN party secured one-third (33 percent) of the first round vote, while the leftwing New Popular Front came in second with 28 percent, leaving Mr. Macron twisting in the wind, at just 20 percent. (Macron wanted us to mention that a good deal of his “impact neutral” campaign was actually wind powered. Ahem…)
Breaking-King Canute has stopped the tide! (s/)

Not to be confused with our Chairman Mau Mau or the immaculate Chicago messiah. (THE ONE!)
Well it’s about GD time and now may they grow tired of being rump vassals and bowing down to the third rate Rome III in Brussels.
Yes we can! (auf Francaise)
