Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany has named its provocative frontwoman as its candidate for chancellor. Weidel, however, is seen to be at odds with some of her party's ideals.
The leader of Germany’s far-right party AfD - which is a xenophobic, anti-LGBTQ, and misogynistic party - is a women that lives abroad in Switzerland and is a lesbian.
Not sure whether that’s hubris or a leopards-eating-my-face-moment waiting to happen…
The parts of her private life choices have been mentioned in the media over and over and it should be well-known by now.
I’m more concerned that so many people who vote for her and that party don’t realise (or don’t care) what she stands for concerning social security, economics and the EU.
A Thatcher fangirl
Thatcher was known as the Iron Lady because she stuck to her neoliberal economic line in the face of considerable resistance. She stood for low taxes, welfare cuts and privatization. It’s a program that appeals to Weidel, a former management consultant. “Thatcher took over Britain when the country was economically down and got it back on track,” she said in the Bild interview.
with ties to China
In the late 2000s, she worked at the Bank of China and lived in China for six years where she learned to speak Mandarin. She would later write her doctoral thesis on the future of the Chinese pension system.
who’d destroy the EU if given the chance
“We are trying to reform the EU,” she told the newspaper Welt am Sonntag in August.
Weidel said that if reforms failed, then every country had to be given the opportunity to hold a referendum on their membership of the European Union.
I’m more concerned that so many people who vote for her and that party don’t realise (or don’t care) what she stands for concerning social security, economics and the EU.
It’s the same shit as it is with the Trumpanzees in Redneckistan. It only ever concerns them if they themselves are somehow affected. If it is anyone else, they do not, or find it even gleefully pleasant to watch.
Being concerned isn’t the only thing I am when it comes to some people and their idea of what this party stands for. It seems the pattern of excuses and wishful thinking of voters are scarily similar, no difference between the US, Europe and the rest of the world.
Let’s just summarize the relevant part:

Hitler wasn’t a blond blue-eyed adonis either.
Facists don’t concern themselves with the truth, and certainly not with authenticity.

Well – she does lead a conservative family life, having a stay-at-home-wife and kids, doesn’t she?
