MeidasTouch: MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

15. If this what Meidas said, he is all wet and completely missed the mark

The far right AfD nearly doubled their already disturbing 10+% from just four years ago. My wife, who is German, can’t decide whether to burst into tears or throw plates and glasses at the wall in frustration.

This is a call for celebrating???? This is a fucking disaster. In Germany, of all places, almost every fifth vote goes to a party that barely skirts the legitimate side of the anti-Nazi laws on the books, and the far left “die Linken,” a thinly disguised leftist version of the AfD, home to many former members of the “kill them at the wall” old East German regime, got over 8%. So more than every fourth vote went to an extremist party.

The new chancellor, Merz (early chance to pronounce it right: MAIRtz—mair like hair), is a center-right abused ego who thought he should have been chancellor two election cycles ago.

The only party leaders with any common sense were the current chancellor, Scholz, who was dragged under by a party drowning in the bureaucracy and bureaucrats they couldn’t stop creating, and the Greens leader, Robert Habeck, who was the ONLY party leader who publicly said that he and his party made mistakes and didn’t know everything. Both lost ground (natürlich) compared to four years ago.

This is NOT a result to be celebrating, I’m afraid. Merz likes it because he finally gets to be chancellor. So did Yertle the Turtle, and remember how that turned out for him. The AfD likes it because it made them the party with the second-highest number of votes in the country, trending upwards.

Do NOT smile and clap at this result, my friends. It is NOT good.
