    I am really hoping this will mark the end of the EU shifting right. We’re much better off in the center.

      The center will lead to the alt-right again. Look at Bayrou who talk about “subversion migratoire”, Darmanin telling lepen she’s soft on imigrants or even Macron rolling the red carpet for the alt-right.

      ( Note : liberals are not leftist in Europe, they are center right, the left would be socialist ) Outside of France it’s the same, liberals are all too happy to welcome fascist if it help protect the establishment. In France we even have a saying for that : “Plutôt Hitler que les Front populaire” ( meaning people in power would prefer Nazi to a change in hierarchy, “Rather Hitler than the popular front” ).

      All of that to say, don’t hope centrist will do anything other than open the door when fascism come.

      Lol, no.

      Alt-right is already declaring her a martyr and firing up their base. Even Russia chimed in, proclaiming European democracies as fake now. With absolutely zero self-awareness. Navalny-who?

        I refuse to believe they lack self awareness. They just choose to embrace the hypocrisy in order to fuck with us.
