Look no further than Canada, the liberals had a minority government and were a few seats short of a majority. So they enticed, bribed, threatened (who knows) a couple of opposition members to cross the floor (which unfortunately is legal in Canada) and TADA the liberals have a majority that doesn't reflect the will of the voters. So to sum it up in Canada electections are now meaningless as they politicians can do what they want to gain power. Not the same as in Germany, but the woke retarded leftists will find a way to undermine democracy
Canadians, like Germans, are wonderful people that seem doomed to lousy governance. Canadians should be more wealthy than the Norwegians. Only 40 million people, on the 2nd largest land mass on earth, sitting on a King's Ransom of oil, gas and other valuable minerals.
When one of the least densely populated nations on earth, half covered in timber, has a housing shortage coupled with an affordability issue, it is only because the government has created the situation.
Canadians didn't just win the natural resource lottery, they won the neighbor Lotto as well. Canada's toy military of 70K people can exist, because the US is standing watch. The entire world is well aware, regardless of Trump's bluster de jour, if they mess with Canada, they will answer to the American military.
The Americans next door not only blanket Canada in free national defense, we will buy anything. In our kitchen, the German stove and dishwasher sit on a beautiful Canadian hardwood floor. Ditto for much of the neighborhood.
Born on 3rd base, the Canadians can't seem to make it home. Germany was the development miracle of the world, due to the speed at which they repented, rebuilt and enriched themselves after WWII. The both share the same disease, decades of lousy governance. Let's hope for their sake, and that of the world, they both find a cure soon.
Canadians are the idiots who keep on voting liberal. Liberals are pro mass immigration and anti natural resources. The woke mob is running the country.
May I respectfully suggest, voters that allow an off the cuff comment by the loud mouth 80 year old, term limited Queen's builder US President, to drive their decisions in the voting booth, have bigger problems than the 48 month nut job next door.
I can never help relating everything back to my own experiences. In my life I've always taken a lot of crap right up to the moment where I stopped taking it.
That seems to be happening in Germany, doesn't it? People reach their limits with letting other people--the ones they elect to purportedly make society run well--fuck them over. And the tipping point is always invisible until the moment everything spills over.
Wishing the very best to Germany's east. They took more than enough crap fer shure, for an awfully long time.
This is great news! Can you spare a few AfDs to send to Canada? They can just show up as illegals, no need to speak English (or French) and a Koran and maybe a decorative burka or at least one of those fashionable Palestinian tea towels would smooth the entry. We REALLY need an alternative to the WEF front man. Maybe say how much they hate Trump so they can’t go to the US?
Speaking as an American, we have to some small degree, overcome the uniparty of Biden with Trump.
But we have by far not reached nirvana. Lots of rear-guard actions to fight, and we have not fought all successfully. And, under our system, Trump is out in 2028 (replaced by another Republican??), and if the Republicans lose the House and Senate, then Trump will be like Gulliver chained down by the Lilliputians this year!
But the real issue is: can Common Sense win over ideological delusion?
And that still is far from clear in the US.
The corruption of Federal and State spending seems endless. It will not be possible (a) to find it all in Trump’s term, nor (b) to establish safeguards on future corruption of spending that will withstand a Dem admin.
And a LOT of this corruption is FUNDING agents (eg, NGOs) for the destruction of Western Civilization. (Thank God they are mostly incompetent.)
Next: the courts are corrupted, and are mainly a control institution for leftist values and highway robbery by the Trial lawyers.
Next: our children are corrupted. They have been lied to, taught leftist values with endless propaganda, and taught no history (I generalize).
These factors (and more) make the current “Victory of Common Sense” tenuous. And the Left (and Leftist donors worldwide) prepare to re-take the Hill in the US.
Some good news: there are no leaders on the Left now with the slithery tongue of Obama, who lied so easily and effectively.
Western world: save yourselves and use our imperfect example NOW. We cannot keep these floodgates closed much longer without your help. (Ex: how is it possible that we now have Mamdani as the mayor of New York City? Could we have a more powerful symbol of suicidal empathy?)
And “that trap” described by eugyppius here is the exact same trap the Left and the weak Right has been using for the whole 21st century all over the Western world. Socialism is not compatible with Western freedoms. As soon as people realized that, the Socialists everywhere stepped up their replacement strategy, bringing Third World immigrants en masse to replace the naughty natives not bending to the Marxist rule. We’ve reached the end of the line. Their game is over. Everywhere.
If the AfD doesn’t like America, great! They will stand up a proper German defense force and the ugly Americans can go home and buy German cars— oops, soon they won’t be made anymore due to green deindustrialization?
Ironic that the East Germans may be the ones that finally turns Germany into a properly functioning democracy. No more the of SFD/Grune tail wagging the German dog.
If the utter mass derangement of the Democrats here, in opposition to everything and anything “Trump”, (which translates into “sane”), is as prevalent in German government, there is no way in hell they will sit back and allow AfD to have any effective power whatsoever.
They will dig ever deeper into their bag of diabolical schemes and devious manipulations to conjure up all kinds of efforts to obstruct, block, protest, and even prosecute any members or actions attempted by that party.
It is simply nowhere in their DNA to allow power to be simply taken from them without going to all lengths, by any means necessary, to hold onto it.
That is the entire raison d’etre of the Democrats here, and I doubt it is any different in Germany and many other EU apparatchik governments.
I watch the rise of the AfD with great interest. Most especially I await the inevitable smear job the western main stream media will unleash (right wing extremism, the other N word, etc.) if they have not already, once they catch on that the Germans are growing a spine and showing, God forbid, a bit more national pride than has typically been tolerated.

trumps 51st state insanity that stole a landslide for the cpc was the worst moment of his presidency.
May I respectfully suggest, voters that allow an off the cuff comment by the loud mouth 80 year old, term limited Queen's builder US President, to drive their decisions in the voting booth, have bigger problems than the 48 month nut job next door.
As we say here, Trump lives rent-free in the heads of leftists. And, as to that 51st state business, how's that Alberta independence thing going?
Oh noes, Trump made Canadians do it!
Give me a break. Ya'll would be lucky if you were the 51st state.
It had nothing to do with taking over Canada.
What it did have to do was encourage Saskatchewan and Alberta to take their governance into their own hands.
Read the Art of the Deal.
Trump ain't perfect by a longshot, but he sees the threat of our neighbors becoming totalitarians.
Maybe Ya'll should take a page from the Irish and stick up for yourselves.

Change begins slowly then happens all at once. May God bless you Germany!
I suppose it will be hard to separate again after a disastrous marriage? Looking at Alberta trying to escape the Canadian disaster.
Possible subtitle: The end of our democracy!
Oh noes! Not the end of "OUR DEMOCRACY!!!!"

I hope the AfD wins, even if they don't like Americans. It will tell Germany and the world that the votes of its citizens matter after all.
Who told you they don't like Americans? They don't want to be dragged into the US' conflicts or want US troops in Germany.
Both understandable. Although I would respectfully submit that they should support us against the Shia theocracy; it is in their interest to do so.
If the AfD doesn’t like America, great! They will stand up a proper German defense force and the ugly Americans can go home and buy German cars— oops, soon they won’t be made anymore due to green deindustrialization?
It's much the same here in Canada...Our democracies are at risk. I invite you to read my analysis on this similar issue - Canada Paradise Lost in this link: https://gmadigan.substack.com/p/canada-paradise-lost?r=54xfyc

I will maintain my prediction- AfD will be banned as a party when push comes to shove.
