   The question isn't just if Le Pen manages to gain a mandate to power.
   But it is how one should govern a country, where 1/3 vote for racists and fascists.
   And this question equally applies to Germany, Netherlands, US...

     @mxk when Merz started as CDU boss he promised to cut Afd votes in half. What he managed was to have them doubled instead.
     At some point the CDU will realize that reiterating the fascist agenda will not give them fascists votes, but make their voters vote for the fascists instead. They might be power hungry assholes, but they're not stupid.

     @patrislav sadly I don't see this happening, as long as it brings views.

     @mxk the fundamental question is when the big political parties and media outlets will stop hyping the fascist talking points.
