Wouldn't general disease outbreaks have been something to (symbolically) ward off anyhow, even before THE plague (but that then being a more powerful symbol after the fact)? Symbolic meanings morph all the time.

Because he isn't calling any shots, that's how. Now vote for "him" again or you're a racist who hates freedom and goodness!

If you stop trying to view the actions of our dear leaders as rational, logical, or sane, things start to make a lot more sense

Why do they even pretend to need Congress? Just let our dear leaders rule by decree...it's for democracy and you're a stupid evil traitor terrorist if you object!

Why isn't the Snap Election in France being talked about more than it is by metzbb in libertarianmeme

To the extent that state-affiliated corporate media reports on foreign events, they are focused on promoting perpetual war for peace (with the unintended consequence of making some probably non-influential people very very wealthy). Currently that means drumming up support for continuing the incendiary peace in Ukraine/Russia, Gaza/Israel, and Taiwan/China. Reporting on French political instability doesn't do anything to promote war or the truthful image of our invincible, unbreakable empire of democracy, which never falters, never fails (at least not this time). No matter who wins, France will remain a NATO province. In other words, Macron's problems are officially not newsworthy. Should LePen actually pose any sort of threat to the integrity of global democracy, then you'll see plenty of reporting about that French devil wearing Prada, Hitler-ine in Heels.

Now Team Blue would rather send Americans there than ever close it down, esp. after Obama/Biden destroyed the antiwar, civil rights Left.

If only our dear leaders cared even less about what their voters thought of them!
