    If you’re contemplating whether this was a good move or not consider this:

    Kremlin condemned this immediately.

    So this is a good thing 👍🏻

      Worry less about what Kremlin wants and what million of French now, like millions of Romanians, feel completely disfranchised. I don’t know if Le Pen’s ruling holds any water, (I know Romania’s does not!), but I see corruption cases left and right everywhere but the only candidates that are suspended are the same type… anti-establishment ones with a high degree of making an impact. As I mentioned in other posts, I detest the Le Pens (father and daughter), but not their ability to listen to their voters.

        They are not anti-estabilishment. They are pro russian/soviet estabilishment. They are trying to build soviet type dictatorships whit Putin’s help and guidance, using his propaganda talking points, propaganda distribution machine and doing his bidding.

        Also, they are not listening to voters at all. They are propagating and instilling fear and hatred in the voters. Because fearful and hateful people can be easily manipulated. So they are manufacturing this voter base, by spreading an unimaginable amount of fake news and propaganda, until the more susceptible layer of society gets brainwashed into their rhetoric.

        And once they are brainwashed and terrorized by imaginary monsters and shadow figures (Soros, jews, migrants etc.), they are locked in. They are in a cult. Their mind is fully closed down, their vote locked in to the far-right Putinist. Because at this point all contradictory information and evidence against their world view is just noise to them. They are not listening to any outside info at that point. Their brain is just constantly looping around the terror that they are living in: Soros, deep state, migrants, LGBTQ - all out to get them.

        And their only saviour, the night in shining armour? The far-right extremist who promises to save them for all these imaginary monsters and phobias. Le-Pen, Farage, Fico etc.

        And if they gain enough power to realize their authoritarian agenda, then your country is gone and flushed down they toilet. I know what I’m talking about, greetings from Hungary.
