We know that fighting fascism requires constant vigilance. But you don’t have to be an asshole about it. Nor do you have to shit on a country’s electorate for, you know, doing the right thing and voting against fascism.
You can’t vote against fascism. The French fascists are still there, gaining power - the voting didn’t weaken them in any way whatsoever. And they’ll keep on gaining strength until they figure out how to get into power despite so-called “liberal democracy.”
All the voting in the world isn’t going to change that.
Wouldn’t them losing the election handedly in this case imply the ground is less fertile than polling numbers and online content would have you believe?
I’m clowning on thee idea that you thinks anything was “stopped”

Not that it was stopped by waging an actual war against them and toppling their governments. It’s a never ending thing, no matter what you do.
Fascism is a weed and power is a vacuum. It’s always going to crop back up and we stop it with any means necessary.
Unfortunately for the US, we’re kinda fucked and being pushed towards the more extreme removal methods.
At some point one has to wonder why that weed finds such fertile ground to grow instead of spending all their time weeding.
