Let me rephrase, the comic is incorrect in regard to the situation in France. The center and left are not courting the actual fascists in government. The center made a coalition with the leftists.
No they’re right. The French Overton window may not be as fucked as the USian’s, but their standard reformist left parties are still considered as filthy extremists while their center, Macron’s party, is actually borderline fascistic.
That’s blatantly wrong. There is a tradition in France for all parties to ally to prevent the fascists from accessing power, but that’s only an election alliance. It barely worked for the last election : the left does vote against the fascists every time, but some liberals refused to stand back in favor of some left candidates, and liberal voters largely refused to vote for the left because of the anti-left propaganda. This lead to the fascists making a third of the assemblé nationale.
Now the president must choose a prime minister, but the left arrived first, and he refuses to let them get the power. So he waits for anyone to accept an alliance with the liberals which is not happening yet.
Predictions are going that he will end choosing a PM that is fascist compatible rather than letting the left have any power in the executive.
I am a french living in France, when did the center made a coalition with the leftists ? What are talking about ?? The center coalition has spent the last 7 years claiming “the left is just as bad as the fascist if not worse”.
I literally just told you how the comic applies.
