    God I remember what, 13 years ago when Macron first beat Le Pen, the analysis was that Macron needed to get his shit together and fix the root cause for what people were turning to fascism.

    And he proceeded to do fuck-all except implement more neo liberal policies which just pushed people right into the arms of Le Pen.
