How did it turn around so much?
It didn't. It's a two-round system. It's one thing to win a plurality in round one, it's another to win a majority in round two.
This is exactly how it's been going for the last N elections.
Except usually in Macron's favor. But yeah, as soon as the choices shrink, people unify behind whoever is countering the Nazi cunt.
