Silly charges being blatant stealing of public money with obvious and well visible for anyone to see proof? Yes, a bunch of French politicians have been sued for corruption and stealing public money, and they have all received bans from pursuing office and/or house arrest/prison sentence. Do you have anything to say that invalidates the proven in court evidence? It has been known and proven for years she used her EU MEP budget (that was for her role as an MEP) to pay for personal and party expenses. Neither her nor her party hid it.
> Another European country cancelled an election because a candidate was likely to win they the people in power didn’t like.
No, because he obviously violated election law by lying on his financial declaration (declared campaign funding of 0, yet had tons of paid ads for him). Again, do you have anything to say against the proven in court crimes or are you again just ignoring reality to sell a narrative.
> They even revoke citizenships — then deport the people. Is France fascist
Of terrorists, if they have another citizenship, yes. All countries do this.
> Donald Trump is trying to reduce the size and scope of the U.S. government and reduce regulation — literally the opposite of fascism
I think nobody is calling that part fascism. The failed coup attempt, ignoring laws and courts to rule by decree, sending random people with no due process to detention camps, including abroad, requesting bribes. That part is clear cut fascism.
