What's depressing about it all is there is clearly still a very real power base behind these parties and it is mostly a sizeable chunk of terrified boomers and millennials who view anything even vaguely right wing that will do something about mass migration as the most terrifying threat in existence. They will literally let rapists into their country in order to defeat the far right, that's how these people think and I advise people never to underestimate that mentality. It's the same reason why they're so 100% behind the elites in America, it's purely to stop Trump.
Is good to be optimistic however the demographic changes make it near impossible to play the long game. Either the population wakes up fast or it is game over.
It looks bad, but i'm still optimistic for the things to come
Few years ago far-right in french government would be unthinkable, now rest of the parties have to join forces to beat them
