It doesn't matter. By that time it will be too late, the damage done and the flood gates will open.See how Meloni changed her stance once she arrived in power though. The French far right has done the same and ditched most "controversial" measures from its programme.
They say it is easy to push for bold initiatives when you are at 5% in the polls than when you are at 50% and need to find a consensus.
In the end the far right will disappoint if they ever reach the presidential office in France. You cannot have your cake and eat it, implement national preference and then argue for more purchasing power.

As for Meloni, here's an interesting article about her style of governance. She's acting quite skilfully, step by step, carefully working on her image: a traditionalist conservative, but not a cavewoman. She's not rocking the boat (too much) on a domestic and european level. I'm fairly certain that a lot of would be far-right presidentials are taking notes, oddly enough just like her biggest idol was teaching take-over lessons about a hundred years ago.
When enough of these assholes are at the helm of the most relevant European countries (France and Germany will suffice), then it will be time to go into second gear. And if it comes that far, the EU is dead in my opinion.
Also friendly reminder, Trump's presidency was a disaster yet (probably more than) half of the US will still vote for him in November 2024.
