Another one who'll never live through the consequences of their policies

Impeach the whole thing and reform with more seats and impose a term limit.

It was more of a calculated move, he boasted about "throwing a grenade between their legs" (read, I fucked them over with my unexpected move, and thought it was funny). His hubris and contempt seem to know no bounds.

But trans woke, think of the kids!

Believe me we did, the RN gained seats.

Following the European elections Macron decided in all his hubris and contempt, to dissolve the Assembly. The far right basically won the elections, (roughly 40% of the votes with a 60% abstention rate, definitely not legitimate but they still won).

The dissolution called for early parliamentary elections, which was pretty much unexpected. The far right rejoiced, especially because of their fresh results from the European elections. Pretty much all the left parties panicked (justifiably so) and banded together as the NFP.

France being a shit country when it comes to actual press freedom (90% of mass media are controlled by a dozen people roughly, mostly billionaires, including Vincent Bolloré, our very own Rupert Murdoch), the media unleashed an absolute massive amount of right wing and far right propaganda to discredit the NFP and its program (supported by multiple economists, including but not limited to, Esther Duflo the Economy Nobel price laureate, specialized in poverty).

Said program is fairly softly leftist, with a big emphasis on massively raising tax revenue for the richest people and increasing public spending for everyone else. It got demonized by the bourgeois owned media and our own brainwashed population.

The first round of the election projected an absolute majority of RN in the assembly. With a significant number of three people in the second round, the NFP removed all its candidates that ended up third, the current ruling party took its time but ended up doing the same to limit vote division and prevent a far right massacre.

With a massive mobilization, the leftist party ended up with a majority apparently, which is good, but not really good enough to wreck shit up like they wanted. Now we can take a breather and hope they won't go back to their petty infighting and do what they promised to do, because if they don't, we will have a far right president in 2027.

It's a bit simplified obviously, but that's the gist of it.

But that's because the good guys don't have enough guns just yet!

How do you do that, is there an app?

I don't think cannibalism is illegal in many places, the problem with it is acquiring the meat.

I don't think most people truly understand what the FN/RN really is. I'm pretty sure they see it as a standard hard right party, tough on crime, and the likes.
When in reality, it's full of actual Nazis, racists, conspiracy theorists, religious nutjobs and so on. If they get the majority (even a relative one), we are truly fucked. They will NEVER (big emphasis on that) leave power on their own.

It's "But contre son camp". But this implies that it wasn't done on purpose, which I very highly doubt when it's coming from neolibs.

Or rich, or know the right people, or...

Luxury items made by exploited workers. What a surprising find.

Dude opened a fucking highway for them. The shift into authoritarianism started before his presidency but he took it to another level. Now, if the Nazis win the elections, they'll have all the tools required to legally wreck shit, even before adding some more to wreck shit even further.

Well it's a good step in the right direction, not a massive difference but still

That's exactly what's happening. In counties where there are three or more candidates for the second turn, the progressives asked their third place candidate to withdraw, not to split the vote. They're waiting for the same favour from Macron's candidate, which will most likely not come.

According to him, it was a "grenade between their legs". Basically he wanted to wreck shit because of his hubris, and he's doomed us all pretty much. Dude has a massive ego and can't handle the reality that he's deeply unpopular.

It's insane to think we've just discovered this now. Is it because we thought we understood evaporation completely and didn't bother looking further into it ?

And damage!

I'm sure we've seen nothing yet
