Without being flippant, could it be that France rioting seems more normalised?

French riots might ostensibly be good news for Marine Le Pen and RN. But possible there might be a serious backlash vs LFI and Melenchon, which in turn puts a centrist into final two, and thus hurts Le Pen. Political implications of riots are complex.
