In case you missed it, Thierry Baudet had quite an interesting time yesterday. Five choice moments from the Dutch election campaign trail:
The public should rise up and form a civilian army
The Nazis got treated unfairly when they stood trial at Nuremberg
The cabinet, health authorities, public broadcasters are on a “power trip”, conspiring against us together
Trump was great but was betrayed by a cartel of corrupt advisers who surrounded him
The Netherlands should launch its own mission to the moon
He also says covid is a hoax and people shouldn’t accept the vaccines.
There’s a long tradition of right wing populism in the Netherlands but this feels like something a bit new - A relatively main stream leader open the indulging conspiracy theories and crazy lies. On current polling, his party looks likely to win up to four seats in parliament.
I now look forward to your nutty replies explaining how Mark Rutte’s passing use of the anodyne phrase “build back better” proves a global conspiracy but Baudet never really means the things he clearly says

Apologies for typos, it’s obscenely early and I am tired ☕️
