“Shitty candidate who only gets taken seriously because of the media coverage” is a trap many of my fellow Americans fell into in 2016. Don’t make the same mistake we did and stomp them out while you have the chance.
You’re correct, but current Germany’s democracy is way more robust than US was. A party can’t just rise to power with the power of bullshit, not quickly anyway. A party has to play with others, it is almost impossible to have all the power, so crazy people can’t just usurp the country. AfD tries to appear less crazy than they are, but the evil shines through, so nobody wants to play ball with them
We’re lucky that the allies did such a wonderful job of correting their own mistakes and making our system more robust after WW2 (not /s, seriously good job).
Yeah, it’s a shame that they did such a good job in Germany but weren’t able to import it back to their own countries. Imagine if it was as hard for right wing populists to get the power in the US, Russia, UK…
