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 People become racists and fascists because the media is always giving them a platform, legitimizing their ideas for decades. Because those who vote feel (with or without reason) unseen and unheard by a president who is such a dumb muppet that he worked super hard to raise the far right so that he could be seen as a savior against them. Except he's now incredibly unpopular and the far right is becoming the better alternative.
