Yeah, you stop believing in the first part when you see what they vote for.

As if they were one homogenous voting block? The reason the French government is in a stalemate is because the people vote for so many different things that no coalition can form a governing majority.

Trying to describe that as "they all hate freedom because of the way they vote" is kinda weird, and quite ignorant.

I don't think any country can be described so singularly as "what the people vote for". There's always a diversity of opinions. Some countries suppress dissension, censor opposition, and only allow certain voting choices (e.g., Russia, China, Belarus, etc.); but even those countries have dissention, the dissention is just kept quiet by the repression and censorship.

But the French? Dissention is part of their culture. Political opposition is alive and well there. So try understanding what you're talking about before posting something ignorant next time.

The whole country made a big deal about being sad about a nazi dying and you're talking about political opposition?

Stay deluded.

You'll have to specify what you're referring to, and somehow quantify "the whole country being sad" about it.

Otherwise you're just a troll.
