    She died? May jesus provide her with a nickname that reflects the way she lived her life.

    In very unrelated news, I got half of my daily steps in, so I’m going to celebrate that. I am not celebrating the death of a politician, I am celebrating achieving my difficult goal of 4400 steps.

          The dad was the party leader for a long long time, he’s the one that brought the Lepen name to be synonymous with fachism/far-right. The daughter is just carrying the legacy and trying to make the party more modern, but anyone my age or older thinks of Jean-Marie first when they hear lepen.

            her father is blatantly racist, an idealist; she on the other hand is a politician who knows that she can be a president one day

            open racism is still a taboo in france, but it’s politely everywhere. Doesn’t mean that she’s not racist; just that she knows that she doesn’t need to say it

            Most people in France don’t want to “be” racists, they prefer their racism to be invisible like air; all around them but mostly imperceptible
