It’s complicated for many, I cut off most of my US multimedia and product consumption a few months ago. I understand one of the major problems faced is that Mc Donalds do use French agricultural products and have French workers, same thing with coca-cola that is made and bottled in France. And it is hard to hear that there will be a temporary period during which their European equivalents will take over the jobs and products of those American brands then things will settle.
Over here, on public and private radios alike, the powers that be don’t want it to happen yet because logistics, transfer of licences, purchases on the agricultural products etc hasn’t taken place yet, so buying american but made in France is encouraged through appealing to the consumers morals (who want’s to put factory workers out of their jobs? No one!), but I think what I’ve previously stated in this post will sooner or later become evident to the remaining consumers of US products.
The other 40 had to disagree with the majority out of a knee jerk reflex.

Thanks for your extremely thoughtful and interesting reply to my rather silly comment.
I regret I have only one upvote to give.
I upvoted your previous comment because it is close to everyday France: a cauldron of contestation of anything and everything.
That’s the French way.
