Globalist Grip Weakens in Europe as Merkel and Macron Tank in the Polls

The globalist, progressive leaders of France and Germany are seeing record low public approval as patriotism and conservatism grows across the European Union. France’s President Emmanuel Marcon has seen yet another drop in the polls, with his approval rating falling to its lowest level since he was elected in May 2017.

The former Socialist Party member saw his support drop by five points to 27 percent approval versus 62 percent disapproval, according to a Yougov poll released Friday.

During this time last year, Macron had a 50 percent approval rating with the French people, his falling popularity being helped in no small part by the current scandal surrounding the young premier and his former bodyguard.

Known as the Benalla affair, Alexandre Benalla was caught on camera dressed in police riot gear during the annual May Day protests viciously beating a protestor with critics alleging there was a coverup after the office of the President had failed to report the incident as a crime.

Merkel, Macron, doesn’t matter: They are but spokes in the wheel; indistinguishable from any other, no more or less useful/remarkable, and quickly/easily replaced when needed. These two suck, but there’s 100s more just like them, waiting for their opportunity to reap the benefits of being a globalist political pawn.

The funny part is that the British were so quick to surrender to the Germans, they chose a princess named Merkle (even though she’s utter trash).

The comical side of this (at least in France) is that this Benalla guy is rumored to be the gay ‘friend’ of Macrons. Most of this is pure speculation....but it’s made it into the main news.

In the context of Europe, and European-descended settler societies, globalism = death.

Merkel’s approval rating has been dropping since she opened the borders to more than one million Middle Easterners and Africans at the height of the migrant crisis.

They call it a migrant crisis as if it just spontaneously happened. Not the reality-- the door to the castle was wide opened and unguarded and who knows how long all the ants who wanted to come to the picnic would be able to do so . . .

They are PLAYING WITH FIRE over there by NOT voting in much larger numbers for the alternative (i.e., anti-immigrant) parties.

They are already past the point where their situations can be resolved without massive bloodshed, and they’re now approaching the point where, despite the bloodshed, the ‘Europeans’ as we knew them could very possibly be defeated.

As to the numbers: It’s not the relative populations that count (i.e., natives versus invaders), it’s the relative populations of fight-aged men that count.

And when you do the math and consider who’s immigrating and who’s having the babies, the flash point for sustained violence is about 10% of the overall population - something that now cannot be avoided in the next 2 decades, in most of Western Europe. And the point at which a sustained attack can permanently overthrow the ‘old guard’ is 25% (again, due to the demographics of each side)...Europe is well on its way to that number too...and then it becomes Lebanon (formerly Christian, then civil war, and now no longer Christian)...that simple.

Impossible.

But soccer world cup champion title does give them a reason to be proud of being French.

France is just bizarre. They do this all the time. Elect a candidate with like 65% of the vote and then within 6 months his approval rating is 30. Fickle froggies.

“Meanwhile, in the past 12 months, conservative, populist, and patriotic parties have won sweeping victories following elections in Hungary, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Austria, where citizens voted for strong national borders, to protect Christian and European heritage, and to reject globalisation in favour of sovereignty.”

This paragraph says it all.

But the irreversible damage to France and Germany has been done. I hope that DJT takes this in consideration the next time he meets with these clowns.

It does, even though it’s too late for them. If the voters remove Merkel and Macron at the ballot box, they’ll just replace them with new socialists, not unlike California with roughly the same size economy as France. Californians complain about the state of their state as it circles the drain, but the majority of their voters will keep electing the likes of Gov Moonbeam and Pelosi. If the voters should happen to mount an effective resistance, their entrenched overlords will simply ignore the will of the people. What’s a Brexit?
