"Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has announced that he is dissolving the national assembly, and calling for legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.

The French president said that he can’t pretend nothing has happened, that the outcome of the EU election is not good for his government and that the rise of nationalists is a danger for France and Europe."

The recent success of the European far right is precisely because they've revised their image to get rid of the freakshow aspects. The days when you could dismiss these people just by calling them "absolute freaks" are over.

But the freakiness is still 100% present in their platforms and ideologies. They're just dressing nicer now.

Unfortunately, “decorum” is really the only thing keeping some folks from hopping on board those movements, not the policies themselves.

No... No they are all still freaks. Did you just take off your "they live" sunglasses or something? The Freakshow aspect is in the ideological makeup.

Not true, 95% are still freaks, optically and mentally.
