      Not to mention they were kicked out of the Nazi group, because THEY WERE TOO EXTREME FOR THEM. Wake me up in 5 years when we can hopefully stop this…

        I was going to joke suggesting that, but you already had my joke crushed by reality being exactly that 😢

        On paper they were more extreme, the right loves to be seen as not that far right when in fact they are

        I have a horrible feeling that this is the beginning of a terrible slide. The racists will use this opportunity to be as obstructionist as they can and then scream in their home countries about how inefficient the EU is, and because the EU is so far away from home for most people, they’ll believe them. And then we’ll slide further.

        Second strongest party in germany as a whole and strongest in east germany. Ahead of all member parties of our current government.

          Thanks Obama Merz and Springer. Their constant Ampel bashing really fucked everything up.

            The Ampel may have gained control over the government at the worst possible time. Everything is currently shit and people always blame the government, even though some of that is not under their control, which currently places blame on the only three important center-left parties. Thus people turn right.

              unfunny thing though is, that most of the shit we have to deal with right now comes from the time CDU/CSU was in charge.

              I… I’m so fricking done.

              It’s a tale as old as time. Conservatives fuck up so many things that they can’t be fixed in the one term other parties occasionally get. And when those then fail to fix everything, people go “see? They’re not better. Might as well vote conservative again.”

              Even worse; the Greens get blamed for shit the FDP does, because people don’t know how coalitions work.

                  If it helps to put it into more perspective. Those conservatives or CDU somewhat recently visited republicans in the US and figured that it might be a good idea to copy how they do politics in the US to apply it in Germany. But making noise is unfortunately what works even if it’s not actually correct or an issue at all.

            Thing is, they would’ve probably gained even more votes if they didn’t incur so many scandals recently. People will probably forget about those until the next national elections

                  I saw postings on twitter and YouTube where teenager were outraged that the government didn’t get that L’amour Tojours was just a harmless memes. So a few idiots voted in favour of AfD in response.

              I think they mainly lost votes because of BSW. Putin dick-riders can now choose, their scandals usually don’t matter to their voters
