THE 79th Cannes Film Festival has opened with the world premiere of French director Pierre Salvadori’s The Electric Kiss. This romantic fairy-tale, set in 1928 Paris, delves into themes of grief, deception, and art.

    In the U.S. if a white person says they’re moderate, I suspect they will reveal themself to be an extreme right-winger.

    If someone who’s not white says they’re moderate, I think there’s a reasonable chance that they might be an immigrant or a child of immigrants from another culture and might actually be moderate.

    If someone says they’re non-political, my first question is whether they’re an immigrant unfamiliar with the politics of the area, and if so, I think that’s actually defensible.

    If someone says they’re non-political and is not an immigrant, those are the first people I suspect of being MAGA.

      To sum it up: white & moderate or apolitical = far right/MAGA (probably ashamed to admit it)

      Otherwise probably just uninformed.

      But US Politics are just different anyways, as somebody that is a liberal democrat might identify as left, but is objectively center-right or right (and might even agree with a lot of the MAGA stuff to some degree, specially fiscally and immigration wise)
