The authors of the above video seem to be under the mistaken impression that the political block representing an actual majority of voters did something nefarious by acting strategically to prevent a political party representing only 1/3 of the electorate from winning power.
Marine Le Pen was not "denied victory" nor is she entitled to cruise into power with a minority of votes on the backs of a divided opposition. This is no different from the sour grapes from the Bernie Sanders crowd who expected a divided primary in 2020 would allow him to cruise to the nomination with only about 30% support.
If the right wants to actually win power in France they need to do better than 37%.

A few years ago I heard an interview of Christian thinkers about the waning Christian majority. There was a general consensus of gloom until the last speaker, theologian Stanley Hauerwas. He said this the greatest gift the American church has ever been given. Now we no longer need to pretend, or apologize for unchristian things in society. Now we are free to simply live the truth. I think of him often, that is the salt and light I want to be.
What feelings do I get when I think of the candidates? Hope, energy, vision.
The church is more free from party alliance than it has ever been in US history.
The whole world can see neither of them have much to do with Jesus. We are finally free.
Let's think of creative ways to live that out for the next four years.
In spirit, admirable. Idealistic.
In real life: prepare for hell on earth. Of Biblical proportions, in wars, carnality, in every way.
Without any fear or respect for God, no boundaries. i wish we had to guess at what that would look like.

^^There has been global protest against the Olympics debauchery.
So much, there was a (tepid) apology.
There is tremendous need for prayer. God wants ALL to come to repentance. 2Peter 3:9
i never followed the Olympics closely, i have avoided them in recent years, once homosexuality became a feature.
This Paris display reflects âthe nose of the camelâ ..
when i was young, the message was the Olympics were to be a place for ATHLETES to be featured, to compete fairly without regard to politics or other distractions, which can be terrific.

Never thought I"d see Russel Brand's name grace the pages of MN. But here we are....
The Olympic Committee is now back pedaling and saying that the despicable mockery with it's blue naked man, was a representation of the event called the Feast of Dionysus.

This is an explanation by Dutch art historian Walther Schoonenberg that the tableau vivant at the Olympics is based on the 1635 painting The Feast of the Gods by Jan van Biljert:
goodness. MARINE LE PEN
