We had 84ish% participation US had 64%ish(?)
Additionally we had 29% for conservatives, which would be the people in the US voting rep eventhough they would not admit to directly supporting Trump.
The gap is smaller than it seems, though plurality in the political system (multiple parties, not winner takes it all) relaxes the situation quite a bit.
Painfully true. The people who didn’t vote in protest of Biden/Harris to allow a guy in that would do exactly what they were made at Biden for but far worse is so frustrating. I get it, they weren’t perfect, but damn. Demanding your leaders be better or else we’ll unleash the nazi authoritarian on ourselves is wild.
Yeah I mean he won the popular vote with less total votes than what he got in 2016 where he didn’t manage to win it. It’s wild. But ultimately maybe something like this was inevitable. The US government is extremely easy to dismantle compared to most others since the president holds so much power. And no president would change the system to become less powerful.
Protesting Israel in Germany is legally antisemitic even if you are Jewish. Many German Jews have been protesting Israels genocide and were arrested for antisemitism.
1 in 5 people voted for the current nazi party in Germany a couple of weeks ago so… meh
What I wouldn’t give for if only 1 in 5 voted for the nazi party in America.
Better than 1 in 2
1.04 in 2

Better than our 1 out of 3 here in the US.
If we had a two party system in Germany we’d be just as fucked as the US rn but people here aren’t ready to hear it.
Hmm, you could also say that fewer parties means less “protest voting”.
Leading to more non voters which was the main thing that put Trump in office
Death to America then

The remaining parties are arresting Jews for antisemitism so its worse than that.
They are arresting Jews for being against Jews?
Do you mean arresting German Jewish religious folks for being against Israeli Jewish religious folks?
I think the Jewish part cancels eachother out, so it’s just German folks being against Israeli folks.

Because laws can’t discriminate. The laws designed to protect them are harming them. Ironic.
Everyone else in Europe can be as anti Israel as we like. Why? We didn’t holocaust 6 million Jews.
The issue is equating antizionism antisemetism.
Yes, that’s the issue.
