        Unfortunately, far too many people would cheer it on a some sort of “own the libs” “joke”

      Exactly right. They might consider it initially, but then they’d realize that they got an increase in support from the MAGA base and they’d lean into it.

      They would be smiling in their official public portrait while wearing it and throwing Heil Hitler arms

      I really wish we could start treating Nazis like we used to

      haha, “shame”. No, I don’t think it is shame. It’s just grounds for legal problems

    Make No mistake, every single one of the RN members would gladly wear a Nazi hat and behave as such, if they didn’t have to appear reasonable to access power. They are a hateful and violent group. This party has been co-founded in 1972 by a former SS. Their plan for France is not to kick out migrants and reenforce safety, no, no, no. Their plan is to destroy freedom of speech and press, destroy education, destroy the “Rules of law” (L’État de droit), militarize police and racial cleansing.

    I didn’t know LeMonde has an English version. Nice

    I’m honestly surprised she even bothered withdrawing. It’s far from the first picture of a RN candidate in Nazi outfits we find. I’m glad but she did, but I’m surprised.

    They need to get a better image consultant. She’s quitting for the very reason she was appealingly to her supporters.

    Honestly thought this was a picture of a Mighty Boosh character as I scrolled past. Be better if it was.
