    Please, please god crush these clowns. I don’t know if I’ll be able to mentally recover from an AfD sweep. The U.S. needs to be the end of the spread of fascism, not the first domino in a falling chain.

      The AfD won’t sweep but they will likely become the 2nd strongest party, after the conservative CDU whose right wing loves the Republicans:

      Among others in this image: Former traffic minister Andreas Scheuer, a prominent CDU member (CSU to be more precise but it’s basically the same party).

      If AfD + CDU achieve a majority it’s not unlikely that they will form a coalition - or at the very least vote for the same bills.

      Fascism is on a global rise. The fascist Reform UK is surging in British polls, Italy has a fascist government, the fascist ÖVP FPÖ has gotten the most votes in the recent Austrian election etc etc

      Fascism is on a global rise and actively supported by Russia, China and the US. I doubt that democracy can survive efficient Russian disinformation + the full resources of China and the US.

      I’d say it will only get worse from here.
