As a french: your assumption is wrong.


As a French too it is well known here that FN votes have a 5% basis of hardcore far right, the rest is mostly a protest vote.


the rest would be happy to throw immigrants out because "dey took er jobs"


FWIW it's this kind of dismissive attitude that brought Trump to power.


If I had a nickel for every patronizing rationale given for Trump's popularity, I would have enough nickels to fund that wall he wanted to build to keep the Mexicans from coming over and taking everyone's jobs.


I'm so glad that after 4 years of seeing this copy-paste, I can finally say this:

It's this kind of (anti-immigrant/xenophobic) attitude that got Trump voted out and Biden as our next President.


As a french: “as a french” is incorrect english. That does not mean anything.


As a French I don't understand why a party showing conservative but reasonable political ideas are always treated like extremist nazis while an angry and dangerous communist can get praised.
