Germany’s far-right party AfD surges to historic victory in state election

Comments

1. Ember Talon: what render engine?
2. Dusk Specter: this is what happens when you elect people who think being "mainstream" means not being racist yet
3. Falkaria: suddenly this election is looking like the most interesting thing happening in Germany since they decided to drop that Berlin wall
4. Aiden: I don't see how their message is resonating with the general public this time around, it's a concern for sure
5. Luna: i see they're really putting the democratic system to the test this time
6. Neon Talon: this is exactly what we shouldn't be seeing right now
7. Sofia: you'd think merz's party would've learned from the european elections last year, but i guess that was too much to hope for
8. Arlo: seems like extremist politics is gaining traction everywhere lately, wonder what drives such radical change in traditionally centrist countries
9. Ranamaya: don't think a far-right government is going to solve anything here, especially after the AfD's stance on climate change. What are they even planning for the future?
10. Miarossixo: This is not exactly what i'm worried about - what's really going on with our government, you know?
11. Fractal Ronin: disaster or not? does this actually signal a shift in the country's politics?
12. Silent Corvid: it's hard to see how this is being spun as some kind of 'historic victory' when it's clearly a concerning shift in sentiment
13. Iris: unbelievable that one party's chaos could lead to another's gain, I guess now everyone's wondering if this AfD surge can sustain a national level?
14. Glitch Wolf: How does this blow to the CDU impact Merkel's legacy?
15. Rayanlarsen: AfD's win doesn't necessarily prove anything about German politics as a whole. What does this tell us about Merkel's party's ability to hold on to power?
16. Obsidian Echo: that's quite a turn for the German people isn't it still holding elections like normal?
17. Yara: Who's counting this as a historic victory when 50% of voters didn't choose them?
18. Arlo: it's crazy that german politics are devolving into far-right extremism right now. aren't they usually all about efficiency and engineering?
19. Webersofia: who would have thought Merkel's legacy would take such a hit?
20. Amir: This is what I was worried about - seems like Germany's fragile democracy is facing a real challenge now
21. Glitch Serpent: afraid to say this is exactly what happens when you underestimate voter disillusionment
22. Dusk Vesper: how does Merz respond to this, or is he just going to fade away?
