This has been my first thought as well. I think one should be very careful about this guy at the very least. Also I think it need not be a conscious plot at all it also could be a reflection of a deeper flaw with right wing nationalists generally in the west namely that we make the perfect the enemy of the good. We have too short a time horizon, we're flighty, we're often way too eager to embrace risky but appealing long shots over lower yield but stabler investments like NR which admittedly has become a watered down party.

I said it the other day as well the real problems would start the day Zemmour got elected. He'd face the exact same problems Trump faced which were building a coalition of like minded people to enter vital institutions and impose his vision. Can anyone honestly say this celebrity intellectual could do that? NR aren't perfect but they've spent decades building up the infrastructure and base to do just that and right as they are coming close to victory this guy throws his hat in and now their vote is split.

I actually think it's a little tragic but the tragedy isn't a Jewish plot necessarily -- not ruling it out though -- it's the tragic side of us being reflected.

We need to be longer term thinkers and not get duped like this but we always do.

NR wasn't close to victory. The regional elections were terrible.

Remind me how many elections has Zemmour won? I mean if this is your metric for judging NR let's apply it to this guy you seem weirdly attached to. What elections has he won? What party is behind him? Who are the people he's going to employ if he wins election? Where's the infrastructure?

You people need to keep your script straight. One day you say RN is a Zionist puppet and now they're legit? What's it going to be?

What do you mean 'you people'? Don't argue with straw men FFS and don't lump me in with some imaginary group you've created in your head. I think I've had mild criticism of the whole pivot towards Le pen being more presidential and centrist but I've never said out and out she's a 'Zionist puppet'.

Of course as well you didn't address any of the points I've made but fine don't bother. You're weirdly personly invested in supporting this guy and hostile to any scepticism or doubt for some reason. So be it.

No, I'm not. He's far from perfect. I just reject all the false claims that have been made.
