Emmanuel macron

It's unfortunately a huge part of why he was elected.... the personality cult bit is getting very unnerving, his followers seem to think he's the new messiah.
Would a huge part not be that he was a far better alternative to Le Penn? People decided they didn't want leader who simply shouted racist remarks in the thinly-veiled guise of an anti-refugee/terror
rhetoric?
Anyway, here are some pics

He needs to change his hairstyle and grow a stubble he will look so much hotter.

People definitely not wanting Le Pen (well, 75% of people) is the reason why he won during the second turn, but not why he reached it.
This year had record levels of abstention because they wanted neither. And on top of that, the first round had 11 candidates.
He was an investment banker for Rothschild, became a millionnaire a few years back while brokering a deal between Nestle and Pfizer and yet his tax returns seem to indicate savings as low as anyone.
He has ties to a lot of rich and powerful people, including the main shareholders of several national newspapers and TV channels, meaning that those are unlikely to ever publish anything bad against him.

Since he was elected, he has chosen for his Prime Minister someone who is anti-equality, a serial absentee from his former job as a senator, and a lobbyist for Areva. Our Health Minister has been paid by big pharma for some years. The Budget minister is a homophobe (oh, those tweets, who'd have thought people archived them?) There's a bit more, but it's already boring.
It honestly looks a lot like a younger, better-looking and slightly more progressive Trump with a better PR team from here, including the rabid fans who don't even blink when you mention those facts, and attempt to justify them.


For the bits about Marine Le Pen being racist, I really don't feel like looking for those, it's painful enough having to hear them the first time around, but a quick search should be enough. The fact that she's anti-Europe and still decided to run for a seat at the European parliament, where she voted against equality between men and women is enough for me. That and repeatedly ignoring the neo-nazis in her party.
 
"Receipts"? Are you doing your tax returns?
Figuratively - back it up, as in.

Still no receipts. If one disagrees with her, it's easy to resort to categorise her as such - but I don't think Marine is a racist. There are loose cannons in her party of course, but I like her personally. I think things could have been different if she hadn't started her career with the FN...

Go crawl back under your rock. We don't do Fascism here.

This says more about you than about her.

It comes from black (particularly gay) culture. Whitney Houston during an interview with Diane Sawyer in 2002 (the same train wreck of an interview during which Sawyer asked Whitney is she smoked crack) said "I want to see the receipts" when asked about a $700k drug bill. Since then it has been shortened to "receipts" and basically means the person needs to come with some proof or evidence verifying their statements.

Yes, I instantly thought of "proof" for receipt in that context!
