        Boomers are pretty bad, too: they went for a 19th-century style Catholic who effectively embezzled +800,000 euros...

        The zones where LePen did well are the deindustrializing areas in the NE/E - Gen X-ers sold out too many times by the supposed "Left"

        Boomers were the generation that led the 1968 strikes and almost overthrew the government so not surprising.

        The sense of privilege lasted a bit longer in Socialist Europe. But Globalism was not to be denied, my God how everyone loves cheap crap...
