    What shocks me is that unconvinced voters thought his idiotic anti-Islam position wasn’t a reason not to vote for him.

    They’ve know that’s what he stands for the past 17 years. Sure, he said it’s ’negotiable’ if it helps him get into government sometime during the campaign but now that he’s the biggest he’s gonna make a stand on that once more.

      Everyone here would do well to read the room a bit if we find that surprising. Or at least keep tabs on whats going on outside of your particular ideological bubble.

      Anti immigrant sentiment is up big time across the EU right now. And specifically directed towards people from the Middle East and Africa. I’d wager a lot of people didn’t vote for him despite his stances on that issue, but rather because of them.
