I’m not usually one to agree with trump, but doubling your representation in a single election is a win. An incredibly concerning win, in this case. It bodes poorly.
It shouldn’t. They did so poorly because 10% of the German electorate shifted even farther to the far right AfD, and another 10% had already done so in previous elections.
Germans are very much like Americans, they like to
Moralize and act like they got their shit together, and pretend like they’re all enlightened, but their people are just as fucked up as Americans sometimes.

Its 20% of us, not 48%.
This entirely depends on if you count the CDU Voters to this. Because I would count them almost as stupid as the AfD Voters.
