Nah the French Right are in a whole different space of weirdness from the American Right,
Partially because, since France doesn't run on FPTP, there's a pluralism in the French right that there isn't in the US.
You might remember headlines about some guy attacking Macron during a public appearance, apparently that guy was part of the French Monarchist movement, who aren't connected to national front IIRC as an example.
Haven’t women in the US been trending further left?
