In Alice Weidel, Germany's far-right movement has found a relatively palatable public face. The Alternative for Germany figurehead helped secure the party its highest-ever score in a national election since World War II. 👉 www.politico.eu/article/germ... - ThreadSky

Germany, unlike Idiot America, doesn't have a system of government where a party with 20 percent support can control the agenda with minority-rule veto bullshit. The AFD is likely to stay right where they belong, on the back benches complaining about 'others'

agateboy.bsky.social•113 days ago

does she look just like Eva Braun or is it just me?

debby64.bsky.social•113 days ago

Possibly irma griese

schlotrvlr.bsky.social•113 days ago

She looks (and talks) just like you'd expect a Nazi to look.

agateboy.bsky.social•113 days ago

but, not like Steven Miller? Please not that bad?

mcjz5.bsky.social•113 days ago

Typical neo-Nazi hypocrite. She should deport her own brown-skinned lesbian girlfriend first.

kayeliza491.bsky.social•113 days ago

Such hypocrites. Except for being white and blonde she is what AfD hates. Can we create an island for AfD and MAGA-ites?

progaltuk.bsky.social•113 days ago

Even Germany's people are being conned by the extreme right. It is time for the left to unite and rise up. Follow our movement.

🤢 ‘palatable fascist’ ? Horrible white male media is empowering this all. For the benefit of the oligarchs and theocrats

obstinatedebater.bsky.social•113 days ago

White male media? Wtf is this racism/ sexism? You too are a white male (albeit this is dubious), you fucking leprechaun.

glowcircuit.bsky.social•113 days ago

Your reaction indicates my accuracy.

daphnebeutler.bsky.social•113 days ago

This is an awful, awful but not surprising result. It sickens me that statistically 20% of the people crossing my path are for the AfD.

jacksontattooco.bsky.social•113 days ago

How many fake AI musk/Zuck pro fascist bots and trolls did it take to delegitimize your elections? It took about a half million to do it to ours.

stephenseagal.bsky.social•112 days ago

So fucking smug, she reminds me of Farage.....

glimmeringgleam.bsky.social•113 days ago

She did it by being a fascist cunt you fucking imbeciles.

Fuck me I hate these news outlets normalising awful people. It's constant now.

lalegault.bsky.social•113 days ago

Jesus Christ Politico did she pay you for this?

netalexx.bsky.social•113 days ago

No Russia pay for this!

drsoup34.bsky.social•113 days ago

20% of German voters are nuts. Beats our 49%
But you singling out the loser for notice says much about yas
Sieg heil much?

dug-r.bsky.social•113 days ago

Palatable… for a Nazi.

margotsibley25.bsky.social•113 days ago

Congrats. Now for sanity in foreign affairs. End the Ukraine Civil War. Accept responsibility for triggering this debacle. Insist in the exile of the Oligarchs after dispossessing them.

viob.bsky.social•113 days ago

Ukraine civil war? That's how you call the ruzzian invasion?

costamoxa.bsky.social•113 days ago

Anyone who voted for this woman in Germany has forgotten the Nazi era in Germany or doesn't want to admit it! How can you vote for this woman and her party with this historical background, how can you be so stupid?

luxrationis.bsky.social•112 days ago

Not because of Weidel, but because almost all media monothematically reported on migration only and this for months inciting racist resentments or inviting these fascists to tv shows to increase the tv ratings for the thrill sucking out a small profit for the production company.

lumon64.bsky.social•113 days ago

This Unfortunately is not Good A Beautiful Face does not always say to be a Good person Already being Pro Putin and wanting to Destroy EU🇪🇺 in favor of the Ultra Right Oligarchic Technocrat and going to live in the Matrix is the worst of the worst

redsoledgooner.bsky.social•113 days ago

80% of German voters rejected her and her relatively palatable face.

ods91.bsky.social•113 days ago

Normalcy is returning to the world

ods91.bsky.social•113 days ago

Normalcy is returning to the world

mmccabe88.bsky.social•113 days ago

Don’t normalize them! Posts like this are so dangerous

lizamazel.bsky.social•112 days ago

Politico is now owned by a fashy dude, not sure if that applies to the European branch as well, but I'd imagine probably

ddhurley.bsky.social•113 days ago

They waited until after the elections...and are just pointing out some facts as to why.

Its not an endorsement.

ascotrose.bsky.social•113 days ago

Omg, just stop. AfD is just what East Germany is doing now because they are still intellectual captives of Mother Russia. You don't have to make it a thing.

jadcarpan.bsky.social•113 days ago

Weidel, the head of a far right party, talking against foreigners and lgbtq+, while married to a woman and living in Switzerland 🤷🏻‍♂️
And somehow, she gets voted...

garday.bsky.social•113 days ago

#Weidel Comment des allemands nationalistes peuvent voter pour quelqu’un qui n’habite même pas en Allemagne?

beardiefett.bsky.social•113 days ago

Strong Eva Braun/Frau Himmler vibes

artshealinghearts.bsky.social•113 days ago

Let me guess, lies and charisma? Isn't that all how dictators are born?

schlotrvlr.bsky.social•113 days ago

I'm certain this is just how news media covered the Nazi party, just before they overthrew the democratic German government and started WWII, of course. Cool, cool, coooool.

blahblah101.bsky.social•113 days ago

She and her party are pariahs that fit a specific moment. They will never garner significant support or govern in Germany.

lfriest.bsky.social•113 days ago

They did so well that they ended the same as polls. Not exactly stellar. Proves Musk's interference failed
