hope or despair

#Macron and #LePen to go to round two in the #FrenchElection. It is so depressing that this despicable little person has reached this level of support although she is unlikely to win but no one dares to predict after Trump and Brexit. White people have simply gone a. bit mad because they are scared… they don’t rule or control the world, which will was a given. Certainties have gone… 

…. this is a perfect breeding ground for populist opportunists who know how to use people’s fears to their osh advantage. Instead of offering a real debate about the real causes for the loss of security due to global economic trends, the stinky little Le Pen talks about banning headscarves but fails to explain how this will pay peoples’s rent or shopping basket. They always bring emotions and deflections in the discourse because they know it works for those who are less educated, desperate and future. 

However, there is hope from the good old #France - young people voted largely for #JeanLucMelanchon, who is the leader of the so called hard left. He has urged his voters not to give a single vote to Le Pen… this is 18% of the vote. Let’s hope #France will be spared the shit going on in the UK and USA.
