      My partner and I almost moved to Germany last year and I am so glad we didn’t. If we’re going to be in a fascist country, I’d prefer to be a citizen since white fascists tend to frown extra hard on us brown immigrants.

        While the current government in Germany is certainly not the best, it is very far away from a fascist country.

        Most likely the right wing CDU talks big now to wiggle out some small concessions against their socialist coalition partner and againt the green/left opposition.

        They can not change anything big because otherwise the current coalition would fold.

        The CDU can not form a coalition or cooperate with the ultra right AFD because that would cost them a big chunk of their current voters.

        They currently have nothing going for them that would win them voters on their own.
