My condolences to VP Vance and Elon Musk on the defeat of their buddies in the AFD, Germany’s extremist Far Right party, in today’s election. Keeping the AFD out of power is a victory for all who oppose fascism.

Don't get too excited, supposedly the Far Right Extremist group received a staggering amount of votes and has an established presence not seen since pre war Germany. I'm certainly glad they didn't win, but it's really nothing to celebrate
OMFG Trump lied again. The German people are way smarter than the 77M who voted for him. BTW would someone please tell him that winning by less than 50% is NOT a mandate.
Don‘t celebrate just yet. If BSW stays in the Bundestag, CDU/CSU and SPD will fall short, which gives Mr Merz an argument to form a coalition government with AfD, because of a „lack of alternatives“.
And ZDF, the other Public Broadcaster in Germany, has BSW at exactly 5.0%, the threshold for participating in the proportional representation system. https://www.zdf.de
The AFD doubled its support, and if another snap election is called in a year to 18 months and they double their support again, they’re leading the country. So before you celebrate how about recognizing that democracy is still in peril.

Calmly talking like there will be fair legitimate US elections in 2 years or 4 years when there wasn’t one this past year.
Which means 60% of Germans voted Far-Right/Nazis.
WE’RE NUMBER ONE
MORE VOTERS SUPPORTING NAZIS HERE
THAN GERMANY!!!!
