    In Germany we’re having an election this month and I unfortunately don’t feel much of that spirit. The far right populists are more or less at an all time high and the conservatives are the strongest party in the race.

      Well, Germany has the same problem as the US: Musk.

      Elon has been pouring his support (and god knows how much illicit money) behind the AfD, to get fascists elected there. Same in Canada, same in the UK.

      Additionally, the conservatives are openly and explicitly imitating Trump’s antics. “On my first day as chancellor I will…” - No you won’t, that’s not how it works here.
