They are constantly told America is extremely dangerous and scary. Now they have first hand understanding of the backing for the news reports they read in their own language.
Europeans are frequently shocked to learn the US is one of the safest places on the planet so long as they stay in white majority areas. They are shocked because they are spoon fed propaganda telling them how dangerous the US is because of guns everywhere.
US news are very casual in france, you got george floyd and orange man bad but beyond that, not much...
That being said I've noticed that marion marechal (le pen) was talking about the castle doctrine lately, on tv, following the "events" as I heard old normies call it IRL... https://youtu.be/FWiNQ9yEq0M?t=732 "la doctrine du chateau", castle doctrine, literally
And that's not neutral, this is a legal concept, a terminology, typical of the US, so I see where she's coming from... But she doesn't represent the entirety of france, let's not celebrate too fast here...
She also talks about civil war https://youtu.be/FWiNQ9yEq0M?t=496 and the direct link with immigration, the obvious ethnic issue underlying the entire problem... https://youtu.be/FWiNQ9yEq0M?t=429 So... Yeah we're getting there... Slowly... Now I think "the problem" is going to grow and go out of hand faster than the push back is building up... Maybe I'm wrong and I surely hope I am...
