I’m in the US and I’m criticizing Germany for taking so damn long to label them extremists!
The problem is how to tackle the AfD. All democratic principles are being disregarded, while freedom of opinion is under extreme attack from the left in Germany. At the same time, this is being instrumentalized and now the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is being used against a legally elected party. While the criminals at the top of the other parties carry on as normal. So now the AfD is securely right-wing extremist... but the voters are not disappearing and so people are switching to an alternative party or founding a new one. The real problem is only being exacerbated at the moment. Since the left is shitting on democracy and laws in order to be able to take action against the AfD, more people will switch to the right-wing party in the future precisely because of this. We are shooting yourself in the foot. Ah yea btw left Parties want Open boardes and openly doesn't Care about the deaths in Germany at the Moment.
Cry me a river.
