My partner and I almost moved to Germany last year and I am so glad we didn’t. If we’re going to be in a fascist country, I’d prefer to be a citizen since white fascists tend to frown extra hard on us brown immigrants.
While the current government in Germany is certainly not the best, it is very far away from a fascist country.
Most likely the right wing CDU talks big now to wiggle out some small concessions against their socialist coalition partner and againt the green/left opposition.
They can not change anything big because otherwise the current coalition would fold.
The CDU can not form a coalition or cooperate with the ultra right AFD because that would cost them a big chunk of their current voters.
They currently have nothing going for them that would win them voters on their own.
Good enough to be understood but not good enough to not use idioms incorrectly. For example, I spent a solid five minutes trying to remember if “así así” or “ni fu ni fa” can apply to competency before throwing my hands up.
Tick tock on the fascism clock.

Mediocre. Mi español es mediocre.
I just need practice.
