Not knowing very much French(or than “Merci beaucoup!”) I am at a disadvantage at reading from the source material, which I prefer and relying on interpretations from dubious sources.
Being called racist or anti-Semitic has lost all it’s ‘punch” by overuse by one’s foes who have nothing left to argue. (See Donald Trump)
So the “National Front” or newly branded “”National Rally” means little except what actions I see them doing. Especially compared to those shouting “Anti Semite” at them while embracing the likes of Nassar Arafat and his ilk and their agenda.
So “Viva la Difference”
Agreed, but Europe's so called "right wing" parties genuinely do have elements that do not mark mainstream American conservatism. The founder of the National Front Party, Jean Marie Le Pen outright denied the Holocaust...
This kind of thing has held back meaningful conservatism from gaining traction in European countries for decades.
Even now, it is important to recognize that Europe's problem found their roots since before the migrant crisis. Not everything can be pinned or blamed on Muslims.
