Mainstream politicians express alarm while lead candidate in Saxony-Anhalt welcomes congratulations from Elon Musk
Mainstream politicians around Europe have expressed alarm after the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) swept to a historic state election victory in Germany, while nationalist figures cheered the result as a mandate for change.
While falling just short of an absolute majority, the AfD surged into first place in the Saxony-Anhalt state election on Sunday, exit polls showed, putting the far right within reach of power at the state level for the first time since the second world war.
Alright European lemmings… You’ve been lecturing us American lemmings for several years about what you’d do if fascism started creeping into power in your country. Now’s your chance, show us how it’s really done.
Ok, watch and learn. By the time it’s done it may be too late for you tho.
I have no doubt they will, actually.
I have serious doubt, but I’d prefer to be shown up as a monumentally incorrect fool. Defeating fascism is a lot more important than petty schadenfreude.
We won’t, unless Germany somehow gets invaded by France. Only they know how to revolt, and we can’t/won’t communicate with them…
The same France in which the far right candidate leads the polls for 2027’s presidential elections?
No, that one can go fuck itself
