I feel like France needs Le Pen. It would be a Trumpian punishment to their ruling class. The people would wipe their asses and smear the used toilet paper in the nostrils of the rulers. Maybe they'd get the message that the government needs to favor the people. You can say Le Pen is awful, and you wouldn't be wrong, but...shoot, that's the whole idea. What other choice do the people have? Re-elect Macron and watch the rulers laugh up their sleeves while they congratulate themselves on fooling the idiots once again?

Of course, this didn't work in America. Instead of taking note and making corrective actions in favor of the people so that populism would simmer down, our rulers instead took it as an assassination attempt and are trying to crush us utterly. The best way to get rid of populists is to steal their positions, but this 100% did not happen.
