Once people understand the goal, they tend to reject fascism. We have to work harder to get more people to see what Musk/Trump and its admin are doing. Then reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.

The E German economic convergence process is hardly progressing. economic performance of E Germany stagnates between 75% and 80% of W Germany's level, depending on the statistical figure used
There is a comfort in simplistic authoritarian models for those raised under them.
Wow. Having two of the most anti-charismatic guys imaginable talk down to German voters like they're imbeciles who need two self-assessed geniuses to tell them what to do -- you're saying that *didn't* work?
Got to push the narrative that their support caused the party to lose moderates and undecided voters and all others will only be hurt by association with these clowns
JD underestimates how many of us (including right-wingers) look with horror at what's happening in the US and definitely don't want any of that BS here. No unelected oligarchs will tell us what to do.
Some definitely are. I have lots of contacts in Berlin. But those who were susceptible to the AfD are unlikely to overlap with those who track U.S. news closely.
The Barbra Streisand Effect of politics. And the bullies and man-babies in the White House are absolutely oblivious to just how loathed they are outside their own country. What is a near 50-50 split in the US is very different in the rest of the world - and will likely only polarise further.
I think the purpose of Vance’s intervention was to intimidate German political establishment— boosting AfD would have been gravy. I don’t think it’s too brilliant to ascribe incompetence to our political enemies, especially when they are winning.
I hope they go center-to left. I feel like Musk has everything he needs,so he wants to see if he alone can persuade all people to go his way. In the meantime, he becomes a Trillionaire. We are nothing but a Musk experiment, and we are the rats. Even Congress is getting paid to do nothing.
Don't write off Trump/Musk & Vance too soon...they have zero morals and will stop at nothing to achieve the goals of replicating Project 2025 globally. Yes, they are idiots, but extremely well funded idiots that side with Putin. US is a now a global pariah that ALL free nations must stand up to.
How in the hell did JD Couchfucker Vance ever get to where he's at in life. He's as stupid and incompetent as president stinky Musky Boi and his side kick 34FOTUS trump.
Great to see the leader of the CDU immediately calling out the US administration as no better than the Russians in their attempts at electoral manipulation. Hopefully Germany will now step up to drive a much more, independent from the US, aligned Europe of which we can all be part.

Vance has been erupting with weird, over-the-top, gratuitous, performative hatred lately, and I've been wondering who he's performing for.
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.
