Alternative for Germany has joined France’s National Rally and Reform U.K. in becoming the most popular party in its country, according to polls.

A poll Tuesday showed Alternative for Germany — which is under surveillance by the country’s intelligence services over suspected extremism — is now the most favored by voters. The survey by broadcaster RTL put the AfD at 26%, ahead of the ruling Christian Democrats at 24%.

This is a high watermark for the European far right, a once fringe movement whose virulently anti-immigration, anti-Islam and culture-war politics were shunned by the mainstream just a decade ago.

Today, these parties have developed deep ties with President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, who openly cite nationalists such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as inspirations on policy and tactics.

    i mean i don’t think what you just said is true, because i see a lot of women in their 20s and 30s without partners, and they don’t seem set on getting one either. idk why that is, but the phenomenon is there. not having partners is on the rise objectively, i’m quite sure, though i should go check for better statistics about this, actually.

    also please don’t be so insulting. “Maybe not in the basement you retreated to”. this is exactly why the left doesn’t have traction. because they insult their audiences instead of listening to them and taking their concerns seriously.
