If holocaust denying, playing on the fear of immigration, and outright racism are considered part of the “mainstream” conservative movement, then you have given me another reason to stay as a registered Democrat.
Let’s not mince words here - LePen is a right-wing nutjob, and any self-respecting conservative politician should reject his ideas and his philosophy. He’s like the right-hand version of Al Sharpton, in my opinion.tsk, tsk, tsk ...
Hypérbolé is the only way you can sustain your argument.
You radical leftists are very good at demanding everyone else place themselves in the role of the victimized, but refuse to do so yourselves.
Just imagine if America were like France today - you know, like how America will be in 20 years or so. How would you “feel” then?
Or maybe you and yours welcome a takeover of America by Hispanics and Muslims.
Ya. That’s the ticket.

I don’t know if you think you’re funny or if you’re trying to make some kind of twisted point. So the French people who vote for Le Pen are victims ?! They’re anti-semitic (why, because they were oppressed by the Jews?) and downright racists (why, because they were oppressed by immigrants?) Give me a break. Your justification of racism and anti-semitism is as credible as your argument.
I’m sure the Holocaust is viewed differently in Europe, particularly France, where the general populace often aided and abetted the Nazis in locating and rounding up Jews to send to the extermination camps. I’m sure they prefer to deny the pervasive anti-semitism of their cultures that allowed them to play the roles of collaborators and enablers, especially in their treatment of those who survived the camps and returned home only to be murdered by their former neighbors. If I had that much blood on my hands, if I’d aided and abetted in the genocide of 5.5 million people, I’d want to deny it, too.
Well said.
