NO ONE HATES JUST MEXICANS:
France's burning hate (Noƫlle Lenoir, 3/05/19, tHE STRATEGIST)
Emmanuel Macron's unexpected victory in the 2017 French presidential election, with 66% of the vote, made France seem, at least to some, a safe haven from the populism roiling European politics. His triumph came as a relief to a large majority of the French, as well as to other governments in the European Union and around the world.But Macron's victory incited a form of near-hysterical derangement among his opponents on the extreme right and left. The increasingly violent, racist and anti-Semitic 'Yellow Vest' protests are the visible manifestation of that rage.
