| Illusion said: The left will assume that these results mean that this is a return to the old normal, but they will be wrong. There is no way somebody Le Pen would have gotten anywhere near 34% of the vote in a socialist country like France even just 2 years ago. The left should be listening very closely to the warnings of people like Le Pen and start moderating their policies, but instead Macron's victory will embolden Europe's leadership to go back to a "business as usual" attitude and work even harder to label dissenting views as "hate speech." This will backfire badly: Brexit and Trump are just the canaries in the coal mine for what is to come in the next 3 - 4 years, the left should pay close attention to the concerns of these people, writing them all off as nazi's and radicals will be their undoing. |
This. The left can even do worse, adding insult to injury when they tell people they learned from their mistakes and they'll fix them, but then they either keep on doing the same or even worse.
