JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise:
—Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!)
—Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well.
—No bloc close to majority.

France out here proving that actually you can tell the far right to go to hell even when it looks like they’re on track for a big victory
are we going to let ourselves be shown up by the French?
Man that would be the most American thing ever:
10% of Americans: “look y’all we need to do it for us, nobody’s coming to save us”
90% of Americans: *yawn*
A different 10% of Americans: “y’all we can’t be shown up by the gd *FRENCH* c’mon now”
90% of Americans: “YEAH FUCK THE FRENCH”
Instead of whipping up America’s racism, whip up our nationalist/ jingoistic pride regarding the French. The information war has just opened up another front.
