Hopium, uk still falling for same lies, afd in Germany, Israel,Romania looking shaky about now.
Well, two data points as examples… And the afd not getting a majority is good, but looking at how many seats they got it’s not at all a win for common sense.
Next election many of the old generations who voted for cdu and such will be gone and then it will depend on the TikTok and media manipulated freshlings so Germany will be in for a ride.
The article is more tendency and hope than measurable fact as I see it.
What’s more, the AfD clientele is probably either not interested in foreign policy at all or so deep in their world of misinformation that they don’t even know how disastrous Trump’s policies in the US are.
Even if they did know, they probably wouldn’t want to believe that it will be the same fatal mix of blatant incompetence and outright corruption with the AfD if they ever come to power.
I think these voters are so delusional that they have to experience the catastrophe first-hand to realize that they have been deceived - and even then, some still don’t want to believe it.
I don’t think we are safe and we probably never will be.
unfortunately Trumpism seems to be accelerating in the UK. Farage wiped the floor with the other parties in the latest local elections
I think that’s less about Trumpism i’m more about the labour party failing to differentiate themselves from the conservatives
it’s not like those disenfranchised voters don’t have anywhere else to go. the lib dems and greens and independents exist. they’re flocking to foghorn because they like his message and he “telz it lyk wot it iz”
