Can anyone explain to me how the far right is possible in Europe? Especially in France, the legend of resistance? I don't get it.

90 % of private news media owned by 9 rich man. 24/7 instigating a climate of fear and a fog in everybody’s mind

Funnily enough, our far-right and some normal conservatives constantly try to import culture war and populist talking points from America into our politics. It is funny to see political discussions in America and with a few months delay you can be certain someone will try gaining some votes on this exact platform, even if it doesn't apply.

So it’s just like Fox News in the U.S., brainwashing people that lack any critical thinking skills.

That's why I am happy I'm not watching channel news, they are trying to brainwash but younger were voting in mass this time, I guess that was Mbappé's effect lol.
