Maybe if the right wing in France could do more to disenfranchise poor and minority voters they'd actually stand a chance. Pretty tough for morons to win when 70% of the country votes.

Hope you all visited France while it was still French... it's going to become a worse sh!thole than it is now. Kiss it goodbye.

So, now the only thing left to do is compare people to see if Non-progressives behave as poorly as Progressives did when Hillary lost.

Remember folks, if you don't bow to your rightful rulers, you're a nazi! <3

I suspect that these folks know a wee bit more about Nazis and their ilk than an alt-asshole like you.

"PARIS — Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, France’s most famous Nazi hunters, thought their activist days were mostly behind them. After decades spent tirelessly tracking down Nazi war criminals across the globe, the couple — now 78 and 82 respectively — had finally settled into a quieter life.

Then Marine Le Pen arrived on the French political scene.

With the rise of Le Pen and her far-right National Front party, the Klarsfelds have marshaled the forces of the Holocaust memorial organization they represent — Sons and Daughters of Jews Deported from France — to keep Le Pen from winning the presidency.

They have published five full-page announcements in the French daily newspaper Libération denouncing the rise of the far right and demanding public support for centrist Emmanuel Macron in the final round of the presidential election. And they have written op-eds denouncing Le Pen’s candidacy and some of her more controversial statements, including her denial of French responsibility for the brutal fate of the 13,000 Jews arrested during the July 1942 Vel D’hiv round-up in Paris during the Second World War."

The hilarity is that you answered your own question in the same post. You're already taking it poorly, proclaiming doom and gloom before Macron has even been sworn into office. Wouldn't a mature response involve hoping for the best even if you don't agree with the choice?

Open borders? Yeah, I don't hold a lot of hope there.

....and you REALLY equate my forum post of concern to leftist tear-streaked screamers rioting in the streets?

Hardly equivalent.

...and yes, we'll see how it works out.

Funny thing is the French are far more intelligent then the Americans. They knew Iraq would be a mess and were prepared to use their veto powers. Now again they show us.. Americans are retards.

Why anyone would record such a rant and post it online is beyond me.. but that is not the message im taking away from your post, what I infer is that you get pleasure from watching another human being in disarray like that. You should problary see someone about that..

It's closer than you'd care to admit. You might not be marching in the streets, but proclaiming the end of France before they've even finished counting the ballots? That's the definition of hyperbole.

As with many things in life, the truth is likely to be far less dramatic. Maybe there'll be more terrorist attacks (I sure hope not); maybe there'll be issues with housing and welfare. But you're not going to see the Champs Elysées replacing all its fashion stores with burka shops. And most likely, any changes in population mix and culture will be too small or subtle to make a big difference.

- Open borders is equivalent to state-to-state travel in USA. It is only open to EU member countries. Think of member countries as states in the EU.

The ignorant know it all genius doesn't even know the election was between a center-right and an extreme right candidate. He's screaming because the extreme right lost? LOL.

More than hyperbole, he's demonstrating his dedication to terrorism.

I think everybody expects blowback on this.. well maybe not drumpf, but by the time its done .. its done.. Until 2020 and AFA 2.0 makes a comeback. Obamacare may get repealed but he got the ball rolling... I think it will end well in a 10 years time ;)

Why are Trump supporters so butthurt over this? Le Pen supporters were expecting a loss and seem content with the showing (their candidate went from fringe to making it to the run-off) but people like Blue_Max (who I'm assuming is not French) are foaming at the mouth in incoherent rage.
