I am not a German, so I appreciate you explaining that to me. As an American I'd love to say the same about our judiciary.

Oh I'm not advocating for letting them remain in a position of political influence.

I'm asking what mechanisms beyond simply banning them will need to be implemented? I'm thinking banning them is only a bandage solution.

So, for the sake of argument, if AfD is banned would they not just became a paramilitary group?

What's to stop them from devolving into something more 'nefarious' if they are stripped of political power?

That could very well be true. I chose to believe he doesn't really believe he is making the country 'great'. He is simply reading from fascisms playbook, as a result of late capital.

I agree, that some might say he subscribes to palingenetic ultranationalism. Yet, I think that would make him a fascistic collaborator.

Either way its all bad news.

In my personal opinion trump isn't ideologically fascist. I would consider him opportunistically fascist.

I believe he wields his rhetoric for his own personal gain. I'm thinking he would just as quickly change his rhetoric if it advantaged him.

None of what I've seen from the current GOP tells me any one of them has the same saucy charisma as trumf. He's not built like them, his defining trait with the GOP is that he's a garbage human being.

I would, if I had the counter top space. The air fryer/microwave/keurig/utensil countertop situation is too real.

Remember that time Musk expressed that he was in favor of free speech? Then he censored content on his platform for the Turkish government?

The energy off this is crazy. Ukraine definetly has the hype war won. Good for them.

Lina Khan is doing pretty good work in my opinion. It would be a shame to lose that kind of talent under a republican administration.
