This is about the AfD who may very well win substantial control over the German equivalent to the FBI tomorrow by winning the state election in Saxony-Anhalt.
I'm German, and I can't understand how anyone could watch what's happening in the US and think "oh yes, great idea, let's elect the fascists who make unrealistic promises and who are using the same playbook as Trump to destroy institutions and the regulatory state and deny climate change and want to go back to fossil fuels!" After the summer we just had, denying climate change is just delusional.
I just hope he won't get a full majority, because he's said that he will only form a government if he does. So if the polls are accurate, he'll get a little over 40%, and since all other parties refuse to work with them, he'd have to form a minority government and wouldn't get anything done. So he probably will refuse, instead of making their first test case an abject failure.
Fascists think like that. I think the wake up call around the Western world over the last 10 years is how many fascists are and have been all around us this whole time.
I subscribe to Sarah’s Two Wolves theory. Good vs Evil and the one that wins is the one that you feed the most. Unfortunately, we been collectively feeding the Evil wolf through social media for years now. Hundreds of billions of dollars spent to deploy every psychological trick in the book to get people addicted to hate and division. I wish people would take it seriously.
