They gonna vote for rancid ass people and then blame it on us for looking down at them for voting for rancid ass people.

This is why I can't stand le intellectual rural vote understanders,

They have no reasons, they have no causes, they have no explanations or histories, what they have is a blind hatred of anything outside their own horizon, and a ballot they'll cast for whatever rancid ass person makes them feel the most like they'll get to express that without being rightfully called out as a bigot.

We've tried to reach them on class consciousness, and they asked "but can we still say the N-Word?"

They especially have a intense hatred for immigrants and minorities that they, as rural dwellers, have never even met.

Rural people are scared to move to the urban areas where life is actually happening, so they have a special resentment towards people who are brave enough to not just move into the city but do it in a new country with a new language and culture.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

French President Emanuel Macron announced Sunday he was dissolving the National Assembly and calling a snap election after his centrist alliance was trounced by the far-right National Rally in the European Parliament elections.

"I've decided to give you back the choice of our parliamentary future through the vote.

I am therefore dissolving the National Assembly," Macron said in an address to the nation.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated...
