I do believe you're right. Conservatives constantly demonstrate their hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty as well as their self serving nature. There's a real possibility for people publicly railing against mandami to signal in-group but vote for him in the secrecy of the booth to their benefit.
Or you're using some kind of proxy/vpn from a server that has been identified as malicious and their subnet is banned in some list. Pretty common and more likely.
That's not entirely true, France is battling with very similar issues to the US. A rising far right power, media that are using the fox news playbook, t additional media that is playing catch-up and following the Overton window set by the previous point, similar blue collar struggles, a president that is appealing to the right while claiming the center despite a majority of constituents clearly signaling left in the last elections, etc.
France is not far behind unfortunately.
