    Candace Owens is unironically a lesser evil than Mr. Macron (and no, just because I hate a ‘Manchurian candidate’ handpicked banker doesn’t mean I prefer the literal Nazis of the FN, lol). That whole “Macron’s wife is a dude” is such a weird narrative though, one that I assume gets pushed on purpose to ignore the truly concerning part: Mme. Macron straight up groomed her underaged student…

      Isn’t Macron more of a symptom than the disease? Imo he seems to catch a lot of the - very justified - dissatisfaction and hatred that’s actually meant for the establishment He’s more of a show pig that we get to blame rather than truly evil

        I guess any corrupt figurehead is more of a symptom than the disease, you’re right, lol. Still a paid agent and not there for the people but that’s nothing new.

          I pity him in a way. His bosses get to kick back and enjoy their billions while he has to catch all the hate and defamation, and having to travel around meeting actual diseases such as Trump and Putin, trying to deal with these man babies

            They’re all in the same place, all of them who take big corpo money, just actors, wrestling heels. But they’re still playing the villain part when they could do otherwise (they just wouldn’t have risen in power, I guess).
