    Damm it feels good to hear politicians with a backbone telling those fascists what they are. We need more of this.

      Key feature: the poltician is French, so the propaganda machine that Trump and Musk use doesn’t really reach his constituents.

        That’s not entirely true, France is battling with very similar issues to the US. A rising far right power, media that are using the fox news playbook, t additional media that is playing catch-up and following the Overton window set by the previous point, similar blue collar struggles, a president that is appealing to the right while claiming the center despite a majority of constituents clearly signaling left in the last elections, etc. France is not far behind unfortunately.

        I know, but it feels like all around the world politicians are trying to appease this rapist mf instead of telling on his face what he is. The only way these tyrants remain in power is when people remain silent.
