So the center-"right" in France sided with the far-left?
The center-right is the far-left.
But sort of. It stayed neutral - it's split between a majority faction which repudiates the FN and a minority that co-operates with it. The Macronists sided with the far-left, and the far-left sided with the Macronists. In some places the Macronists voted for actual Communist Party candidates over FN candidates.
What does this mean ultimately - that no side has enough power to fuck over France? If the government can't get shit done and are stuck being essentially use this I'll take that as a win over a left wing government that will bend over to get fucked in the ass.
That comment was just about the election. But yeah, no faction has enough power to either fuck France (even further) or unfuck it. Things are not great as it is, so if I weren't optimistic about the near future, I'd view that as very bad news.

No matter how much you hate the mainstream controlled op "right," you don't hate them enough.
