If Sarkozy didn't change the regime of Libya by bombing based on lies which are still under cover by main stream media, there might be no such an immigration wave caused by war and chaos. Today main stream media still try to avoid to associate their bias reports with the change in public opinion. It seems to me that main stream media is part of if not all of reasons caused such situation today.

Every "civilizing" or, in the post-colonial era, "humanitarian" intervention in the Middle East has contributed to the state we find ourselves in today. But they blame religion, anything they can other than themselves.

Most "refugees" aren't even coming from Libya or Syria. It's just free for all, everyone who isn't white is welcome in Europe for the moment, just leave the shore and NGOs will gladly pick you up and ferry to the Italian coast.

The protest vote. Doesn't necessarily mean that they agree with her on most things, they just hate the status quo.

Care to explain why this is "terrifying"?

It's not. A lot of young people voted for Le Pen. People are sick and tired of Marxists destroying their countries. It's obvious they just won some time but big changes are coming.

Marxists in France? Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

For context, in the 2012 election, total votes in 2nd round was 34,861,353, out of a population of 66.81M (now). I couldn't find the total voting population easily.

47.58M registered voters. Should be about 75%
