Once again the French forgo an opportunity to change course

If you take a quick look around the Western world, the French electorate’s myopia - if that’s le mot juste - is scarcely unique. Why, one might just as well ask, isn’t Geert Wilders the prime minister of the Netherlands? Why do the Swedes keep electing Social Democrats, even as their country burns down around them? How can the Canadians have returned the vile yet ridiculous Justin Trudeau to power? Yes, Californians are crazy, but even so - with their economy going down the tubes, their cities turning into homeless encampments, and their middle class fleeing en masse to Texas and Arizona - how could they have failed to recall the avatar of disaster that is Gavin Newsom?
