      USA: fascist regime, raging war and taking lives around the world and in their own country.

      Germany: party left of the GDP GOP gains some traction.

      This dude: AH-HA! THEY’RE THE BADDIES!

        More like both are baddies. Or am I to understand that the AFD have no fascist tendency of their own and are just a bog standard conservative party

          Oh AfD 100% baddies. That’s not a question. I’m talking about the country, because the AfD is not in government at the moment and even if, they wouldn’t be able to govern alone, our system doesn’t accept that, at least as long as they aren’t in a spectacular majority. The US failed spectacularly at implementing checks and balances. AfD beyond baddies. USA as well.

              That’s fine. We don’t have to. And I bet it’s not true for some Republicans. But the hardliners are a bunch of crazy assholes. And I would place them way right.

              And they are running the government. Even if the German AfD would gain the same results the Republicans did, they wouldn’t be able to govern the country alone.

              The American system is fucked, and the last months have proved that
