What really baffles me is that Macron isn't even that far left, he's just left of center. Correct me if I'm wrong but the current French government is more liberal than him. Why are people treating this like the coming of Sharia Law to Europe? Just because he's respectful of other people? (I realize I'll get Islamic Content ratings for that, but whatever)
Whilst this is a problem - you cannot deny that this is not an issue that is facing Europe atm, the sending of a vast majority of military aged men to Europe that looks strangely like an invasion and people have a right to want to defend their country from that, you are right - Macron is not a win for liberals, for Hillary's pussyhats or for any other individual like that - I saw someone on Twitter describe him as more like Paul Ryan than a Hillary Shill. However, since he's pro EU and people don't like that, people don't like what the EU symbolises, then of course he's going to cop some flack.
Le Pen in her current state wouldn't have made a good leader, I don't know if in any state she would and she certainly isn't the saviour du jour that people on the "altright" were making her out to be, but it's a shame she didn't win, purely because we get no salt. The right isn't going out and setting stuff on fire, they aren't smashing people in the head with U-Locks and they aren't screaming about Russia. Which is sad, but Trump's providing enough salt to probably last for all of humanity.
