Who knew that former communist Germany would become a bastion for freedom and democracy?

les's avatar

It is because they have experienced communist reality. It did NOT work.

As the Cuban Americans keep saying.

But this time is different! /s

;-) It has been happening for thousands of years. The theory in a Democracy is that change is peaceful, not banning parties and having tantrums.

There is the old way, when leaders and their lot were shot in a coup. Let us stay away from the good old days, shall we?

Facts. But, don't worry, much like the US, many Germans won't let facts get in the way of their indoctrination.

The vast majority of people in the USA are dumb . I mean the white IQ for whites is 100 . So right there 50% have Iq less than 100 .

But whites have dwindled to 56% thanks to 1965-2024 “ open borders “ .

The mean IQ for blacks is 85 . So 34% of blacks have IQ of 70-85 with 16% between 55-70 . Hispanics aka Mexicans do slightly better than blacks but the data is light as they just keep coming and testing has now been banned . Even the SAT .

The 2025 freshman class at UC San Diego ( highly ranked ) ..60% could NOT “ round 274, 518 to the nearest hundred …60% !

100 years ago being functional literate in both Greek and Latin was a requirement for graduating high-school.

Now we have remedial semester long math courses in college!

Sadly that is true. Reality is an alien concept to these people.

I would move there if they would have me.

If they can right the ship I’ll be tempted to follow you

Ray Noack's avatar

We have a Democracy here in the USA . Didn’t you see the democrat party nominate their candidate ? They fired the old Cadaver guy and put up the drunken Brainless black VP .

Voting ? Primary? …oh , that stuff …maybe next time .

Retardation is a common trait across the lib diaspora

AndyinBC's avatar

Sad, but true.

For much of human history, people with the modern Lib grasp of reality, (or lack thereof), have been routinely consigned to institutions - "for their own good" - and for the safety of the community.

Time to reopen the asylums!

Given how well totalitarianism polls in former ussr nations, not shocking at all.

Damn. So much worse than Globohomo. Don't these people understand our jewish values?

"Dirk Peglow, chairman of the Federation of German Criminal Investigators"

Sorry, but I can't resist commenting that this sounds like a porn star's name.

More seriously... if we add the CDU and AfD percentages together, it suggests that German voters may be ready to ditch the green/socialist policies that have crippled the country's economy, with only the CDU establishment standing in the way. (I make a distinction between CDU voters and CDU politicians.)

AXIMAND's avatar

That's the whole misery: retarded German voters (often times it's the boomers, ofc) vote CDU because they think it's still a center-right party (they're not). So the voters keep signalling they want a center-right government but they receive some left wing managerial bullshit. I fucking love democracy.

You can discover your very own porn star name by adding your middle name to your nearest street name! - "Lee Talton" 😁

Doingmybest's avatar

But will the alternative be any better?

Username's avatar

The current crew has steered the country into the ditch. I'd be curious to see if the replacements can get it out.

AndyinBC's avatar

Wishful thinking, U?

Doingmybest's avatar

Better reason than most. But i wonder. Where are the people?

Ryan Gardner's avatar

These fools don't even understand their own Volksgeist.

Germans, if nothing else, are a determined bunch.

I don't think the overlords understand that their own people are going to overcorrect so hard on gay-race communism that it's going to make MAGA look a liberal preschool.

Colin Hunt's avatar

Agreed. When the wishes of the majority of citizens are suppressed for too long, the result is something like July 14, 1789 in Paris, or June 13, 1990 in Bucharest. It never ends well for the overlords.

AndyinBC's avatar

Its that tenuous grasp on reality.

All over the "West", the peasants are revolting.

When the quasi-official grift gets into the trillions, and the powers that be cease to pretend to to govern "for the people", the natives tend to get restless.

Which is exactly what we're seeing in Germany, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia.

Jamaica NYC's avatar

Nah, there might be some incidents, but, once Trump is cooked or retired, things will settle down for the Left. AfD has to hit 50%. MAGA has to win in 2028.

la chevalerie vit's avatar

Isn’t that the point of elections, to have a blatant interference with the state apparatus?

Epaminondas's avatar

That sounds like fascism. Soon, you will also be expecting people to be able to vote for candidates of their choice, for those in power to actually reflect the wishes of the people that elect them, or for bureaucracies to serve the people and not the other way around. We need to defend democracy against all of those abuses. /s

la chevalerie vit's avatar

Then call me a fascist 🤣🤣

AndyinBC's avatar

OK, you're a fascist.

But then, by that metric, so am I, and most of the folks with whom I associate.

Dolce Far Niente's avatar

It is quite clear that the logical next step is to make voter-centric parties illegal.

Or possibly voting itself; I can see where "representational voting" might be instituted, in order that silly people who think they're just as good as the bureaucrats and politicians will have their votes cast for them... for their own good, of course.

Here in the United States, one of our parties is already working that way, only they call it "ballot harvesting' and "Voter ID is racist."

"Threat to Our Democracy" is already in wide use, too.

Andreas Stullkowski's avatar

Cursed numbers!

Is this why they have summoned The Merkel from her slumber, forcing her to leave the shadows of her lair for the blinding lights of the television panels once more?

It is, without a doubt, a most dire omen.

Colin Hunt's avatar

Merkel and Schroeder could not have done more damage to Germany even if they had been paid agents of Russia. Oh wait...Gerhard was a naughty boy, wasn't he?

les's avatar

Isn't it just

Tardigrade's avatar

This harkens back to the US Democratic party's self-"autopsy" after the 2016 election of Donald Trump. With similar tone-deafness, they refused to even consider why they had alienated so many voters.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

They don't want to release it because it's going to say exactly what their base doesn't want to hear:

Enough with the white-bashing and gay-race communism.

wmj's avatar

It might be useful to publish for English speakers a summary of what practical changes you predict an AfD-led government might make.

Discarding the fringe elements unlikely to make real policy, what would it mean in practical, observable terms for the AfD to take power in Saxony, in other states, at the Federal level?

Rikard's avatar

Why can't they understand?

They, the establishment, are the ones who have made AfD not just a possibility but a necessity!

Let's you have a party called The Super-do-good-bestest Democratic Party, and that party allows (f.e.) foreign rapists and murderers to not just remain alive but living for free in the nation TSdgbDP rules.

Let's say people protest this and are shut down with pejoratives, slurs, threats and guilt-tripping by the TSdgbDP-loyal media and state apparatus.

Then, some people found The Evil-get-stuff-done-Party-of-the-People and proposes murderers and such are to be executed, or locked up for ever.

What made TgsdPotP exist?

AXIMAND's avatar

Really looking forward to September.

This has been fascinating to watch even from a distance.

"Should we stop importing 3rd world migroids and sacrificing the economy to the climate gods? Naaah, let's write a salty pamphlet, that'll bring people back around." It really can't be overstated how retarded and unnecessary the political decisions of the past decade have been. German autistic extremism strikes again.

W. A. Samuel's avatar

Germany is well overdue for a major political course correction. Their “leaders” in Berlin have been taking orders from the EU fools in Brussels for far too long.

Nicholas Edward Bednarski, MD's avatar

But, given the damage done to the German economy , will the country be “rescuable”?

jotolo's avatar

CDU can still change course and work with AfD to curtail immigration. If it doesn't, then it must be allowed to die -- like Timmy the humpback whale.

UM Ross's avatar

Yes, the CDU are idiots. How much is 22% + 29%?

Oh, right, that's 51%...

Ronda Ross's avatar

I feel bad for laughing , but I nearly spit my coffee across the kitchen. Well played.

"CDU can still change course and work with AfD"

Hmmm. Brings to mind old sayings re flying pigs and icebergs in hell.

Horstine's fate is some metaphor for the ruling parties in Germany, ain't it?

all of them rotting and dead on a beach and nobody knows how to get rid of them

Gonna be raining blubber for a long time. Best to hope for a cool summer.

Explosives seem appropriate.

Unf cannot strap them to whales as they will just re-beach themselves

Tardigrade's avatar

Do these people even listen to themselves?

les's avatar

They certainly don't listen to the people. I love the labour party in the UK. They actually think that pushing for re-entry into the EU will win an election. It is like they didn't understand why the Tories lost the last election. And then they say they are "politically aware".

Tardigrade's avatar

My question was mostly rhetorical, but your answer is clearly true.
