Honestly, no matter who you blame, this is just fuel for the fire for someone like Marine Le Pen. I mean, fifteen years ago, everyone was making fun of her family, but now? The smarter part of that family—her daughter—is proving she’s basically a PhD in politics. Even before all this, the woman was crushing it in the polls, regardless of how much the big media outlets tried to tear her down. I don't even want to think about the landslide she might grab if this kind of crap happens again. Every single incident just adds a mountain of new voters to her side. The Democrats over there are gonna have to find a new leader, and honestly, maybe even Jesus himself would need to step in to save them. They’re so incompetent that, compared to them, someone like Sarkozy looks like a master statesman.
It’s actually wild to me how some people just ignore the massive mess brewing across the Atlantic and Europe. You've got the far-right, the right wing, anti-immigrant movements, even those neo-Nazi groups... they're all surging. Like, seriously, in Sweden, the ultra-right has their biggest voter support right now🤣, and man, just ten years ago they could barely even squeeze into Parliament.
Over in Denmark, the right is in power, so they aren't just letting immigrants walk in through the front door; they're being pretty hardcore about it, and even the super-liberal Danes actually back them up on this.
I think Switzerland is run by the right too—well, there's some leftists in the government, but even without them, the right probably has like a 50% lead over the opposition. A buddy of mine in Switzerland tells me that even the immigrants there are feeling pretty anti-immigrant🤣, which, I guess, isn't that surprising when you see where they're coming from. Angela Merkel and her coalition are losing support fast in Germany, no matter how hard the media tries to push the narrative that everything is fine and everyone is welcoming the newcomers. Everything that came out from behind the Iron Curtain has been anti-immigrant, whether it's led by the left or the right. Around here, it doesn't really matter, and as for those folks over in the UK, I don't even think it's worth talking about. All in all, the political map of the West is gonna look totally different in the next ten years, and things could get real messy.
