    Didn’t JD also endorse some AfD chuds in Germany last year, only to see their numbers drop even further?

      Unfortunately it didn’t help that much. Thanks to the total incompetence of all mainstream parties in Germany, whose members usually just care about their personal income instead of Germany doing well, AFD managed finally to overtake all parties. I expect them to be in a coalition in one of the next two federal elections.

        I used to think that, but the thing is people who dont actively vote AfD absolutely despise them, so CDU doing a coalition with them would probably cost them like 80% lf their voters for future elections. If they are willing to risk that, they better prepare the fascist takeover together with AfD or theyre fucked. I hope they know that and act accordingly.
