Some people can't seem to understand why so many French are protesting after 's victory. The most popular comment goes pretty much like "you got what you voted for", which is revealing: these commenters understand politics as if it was a soccer match in which the only thing that matters is winning. They can't seem to understand that Macron won because he was the lesser evil, and the fight needs to continue, if people don't want to see France become a neoliberal hell

@Technowix I can't speak French, would you mind translating? Thanks!

@Antanicus Well, that was the main "catch sentence" used for "vote for the less evil".
Litteral translation might be :
"Build a dam to contain the fascism wave"
