I’m referring to reasoning here as in the connection to the arguments they use to sell their politics to voters. Countering a dishonest broker is difficult, but if democracy is going to work at all, it is a necessity. In any case, there is a certain irony in the AFD being Russia friendly, considering they began their path to prominence during another admin that was soft on Russia.

The Merkel era of the 00’s-10’s saw dismantlement of German energy independence, Russian gas contracts “to keep the peace”, not backing Ukraine for NATO & “wir schaffen das”. Talk about not wanting to learn from history…

This happened to the NPD already and it was the right thing to do.

I thought both the NPD & heimat are still around and kicking in Germany? They’re some next level nasty shit.
