That right there is textbook concern trolling from **UltraVile**. The disingenuous line of arguments about how _oh so sincerely worried_ he is that this reactionary candidate might win and _oh those poor French liberals might not see it coming_ because they’re _so meeeeeaaann to all the racists_ who would support a candidate like her that the racists just clam up and don’t respond honestly to polling. If only racists could air their views openly, we could _totally dissuade them_ of their bigotry. But instead they’ve become a _silent majority_ while relegated to the shadows…for now.
