The belief that the country is on a downward slope fuels the appeal of radicalism.

    Although I agree that outlawing a party is not a good idea, this is a straw man argument, because I never claimed they should outlaw , but only that they should vote those fuckers way out of any influence.

    They already did it last time. And it failed for a simple reason: when you put together everyone with the sole common thread being that they don’t want someone specific to win, you will win in the immediate but then you fail big.
    France should have learned what happen in Italy every two election cycle: the right win, then the left put together everyone to not let the right win, the left win and then they fail miserably exactly because there are too many people together that has not a common idea if not “[she/he/them] must not win”, and with this and we end up with a new election cycle or a “technical” governement which in any case end with the right winning in the end.

    But people are stupid, the average person is dumb, and 50% are even dumber. 🤷‍♀️

    Calling stupid all the people who don’t think like you or that say they had a problem is the best way to gift them to the right.

      No literally people are morons that don’t think or care about what happens around them. It’s not about disagreeing, it’s also on simple facts of reality. Antivaxxers is an example. Fascists is another. But there are more than it is possible to state here. More than half the population are either ignorant or misguided about the simplest things.

        I agree. But just calling an antivaxxer or a fascist stupid do not solve anything, if not make thing even worse.

          Acknowledging the problem is the first step to solve it.
          It doesn’t help to call donkeys horses.
