> a man who should be in prison for insurrection is the head of the executive

I'm no France-lover (hugs from north-east of Spain), but I think this sums up things pretty well. Someone who would have been jailed in any other democracy, is now the head of government, somehow.

Given France's experience with democracy and how hard it is to keep, and America's lack of experience (as a country and democracy), makes me trust France a lot more today.

Being Spanish you know very well that our current president should also be in prison. So I will trust your word.

Exactly!!!

This was the exact sentiment I was trying to capture.

Along with the fact that a lot of american politics simply doesn't make much sense to me following it. So that also helps.

the fact that france's president put his stance forward and corrected american's president's blatant lie also contributed just a little in my ignorant tiny world bubble to really considering about france as a more trustworthy country and then reasoning from it to concluding it as true.

There might be many other countries as well who are more trust worthy than france , but certain events which put them in spotlight would be required for the normies like me to find it.
