  • This whole thing reads as though the writer feels Le Pen didn’t really do anything wrong, but is being made an example of for having a different opinion.

    I feel like we read a lot of things about far right populists claiming they are being actively prevented from practicing politics due to things they say, but then something comes out about what scumbags they really are.

    Pretty much the only thing these populists have to defend themselves is whataboutism. I figured the trias politica would always make sure independent forces could keep these kinds of folks in check. This means

    The law should always be applied.

    Which begs the question: what happens when these guys do get to power, change the laws to their own liking, somehow get it pushed through…
