    Oh please, for instance AfD got 20% of the vote, and have no real power, because Germany has an actually functioning democracy.
    But yes we hear a lot of warnings against AfD, because they are like MAGA, difference is they can’t disrupt everything with lies like in USA. Because in EU you have responsibility when using your freedom of speech. You can’t parrot some idiot making history falsification, ands claim you are just “reporting” it. Unfortunately the old East Germany is unhappy with the state of things, and want to go back to before the country was split. Which means they want Nazi Germany back.

    this is happening all over the globe.

    This is textbook false equivalence.

      Exactly. Americans are very quick to deflect and turn to whataboutism when held responsible for their actions.
