#4  People will ignore a toothache for quite a while if they think the dentist is going to root canal them. In the end, they go to the dentist. The French will be ready for a change soon.

#3  Say 'far-right' and their brain goes, "mon Dieu! Nazis! Fascists!"

The main stream media's 24/7 communist propaganda will do that for you. We have to wait until it gets so bad that even the television can't conceal it. Hope it's not too late.

#1  All the 'light' anti-moslem posturing, videos of Pakis burning Macron posters, and the dramatic whining of jama'at stooges in France finally paid off.

The far-right was a better bet any day under the circumstances. But dumbed down masses are trained to recognize only labels today. Say 'far-right' and their brain goes, "mon Dieu! Nazis! Fascists!"
