In both cases, the causal variable is exposure to far-right propaganda. The more misinformation you consume, the more radicalized you become. But the misinformation channels and their audience differ
In the US, the main propaganda vectors are Fox News (+ more niche channels like Newsmax & OAN) and Facebook. And exposure to these channels is strongly correlated with age. In France, there's no Fox News, so it's all Facebook. And guess what: it's younger folks that are on FB.
Not very young folks, mind you. Young-ish folks, 30-40. The degree of radicalization of each demographic segment is proportional to 1. time spent on FB; 2. vulnerability to propaganda (education level being a reasonable proxy)
Before you ask, no, this is not what happens spontaneously when you let people exercise free speech. It's the result of deliberate and coordinated campaigns, often seeded by the propaganda arm of hostile nations (e.g. RT, Sputnik, etc. make a killing on French social media)
The Kremlin has been openly supporting (and coordinating with) European far-right parties for many years. It's a very similar story as what happened in the US in 2016, with the results we know.
