Not familiar with French politics but I recall reading how Macron "came out of nowhere" to win.

Reading Macron's wiki, it kind of seems like that could be true but nothing definitive. Seems he got overtly involved in government in 2012 and then became president in 2017. That does seem like an out of nowhere situation, especially considering he wasn't yet 40 years old.

So if Macron was "out of nowhere" i.e. an establishment candidate, then it stands to reason that Zemmours meteoric rise is just as, if not more, suspect.

Either way, in France it seems like you have to get the nod from Jews if you want to get elected. Any tempering of naming the guilty parties will just delay and worsen the decline instead of leading to a corrective path.

Zemmour was already a very popular media personality. His meteoric rise isn't suspect at all.
