Second time since 1968 that France has re-elected its President. By a pretty wide margin when some thought the race was neck and neck.

I saw the exit polling showed that some absurdly low number of Macron's voters only voted for him to keep Le Pen out of office. I think it was as low as 10% only that liked him.

bizarro democracies in the west these days

Well it?s a pretty easy choice when the one running against you is pretty far to the right. I could be wrong be her closeness to Putin probably didn?t help her much.
