France used to be an amazing place to visit. The mid-sized French cities were heaven, lacking all the crime and drugs and other problems that other US cities had. That's been changing in recent years as they're becoming more lax with open air drug use and of course importing the third world.
Honestly it's sad that some of you are cheering on the destruction of a great place. All because it's your "tribe" or something.

“Importing the third world”
France has had significant immigrant population for decades. You’re looking for excuses.

It would just be nice for a party to have an immigration policy based in the real world and also not be fascist. Is that too much to ask?

In Denmark they collect detailed statistics on who pays taxes, collects welfare, and commits crimes and adjust their immigration policies accordingly (which basically means little/no immigration) and they don't call each other "fascist" for doing so, I think that's a good example to follow

France and Denmark have the same % of people who are “national origin” (have >= one parent born in France)

Get out of here with your facts. They upset the frightened haters!
one is bad for the Dems: voters around the world want to kick out the current leaders. Doesn't matter much who they are - just kick them out and try again is the trend. Bad for Dems. Uk and France are examples.
another is good for the dems: the hard right le pen/trump parties scare the dickens out of a lot of people and will drive turnout to deny rightists leadership. This is good for the Dems because tens of millions are legit terrified of trump and the current GOP and those people will crawl over glass to vote against them. Good for the Dems. UK and France are again examples.
So, how do you weight those?

My take is that Europeans (and Americans) don't mind some centrist conservative thinking, but they rightfully fear reactionary Far-Right policies. There is much to like about limited government, lower taxes, regulatory reform, and smarter immigration policies. When a party or candidate starts to vilify their opposition, ethnic groups, and speaks of revenge and purity, then is resurrects the specter of fascism and no fair-minded individual pines for oppression.
This is a good take. Conservatism in America is rare nowadays, being a freaky right winger on the other hand, is the norm
