The only people in shock are the ones living under a rock for the past, idk 30+ years.
They’ve always been butt buddies with the far right.

Damn, if Russia and China pull this off I don’t want to hear any talking down by the French about Americans being politically unsophisticated. France even got the benefit of witnessing exactly how the Russian/CCP far-right sabotaged the US democracy from the inside out by exploiting their dimmest demographics. Same with the UK. Yet these countries are falling the exact same playbook, it’s crazy.
Welcome to the “multi polar world”…

Yeah sure it’s Russia’s fault lmao.
Liberals will blame everyone but themselves for the problems they caused.

Well I mean you can’t base everything on it and France is following an international push to the far right, but the is also a documented involvement of and financial ties between the Kremlin and the French far right. … That being said, they would surely have won even without that.
