We had 84ish% participation US had 64%ish(?) Additionally we had 29% for conservatives, which would be the people in the US voting rep eventhough they would not admit to directly supporting Trump. The gap is smaller than it seems, though plurality in the political system (multiple parties, not winner takes it all) relaxes the situation quite a bit.

Yes, but those people know better than to tell their co-workers or friends (and even families) that they did, because they’d be treated like the fucking imbeciles they are. Compare that to the US where the MAGAs are the loudest, most outspoken fuckos of all who can’t stop advertising their idotic evilness with hats, megaphones, and internet opinions. That’s a world apart from what is happening in Germany - so far.

Better than our 1 out of 3 here in the US.

It was 1 out of 5 people who voted, so 1 out of 2 in the US. I’m sorry, but just that’s just the way things are. Voting turnout matters, but it’s not like the people that didn’t vote would’ve all voted democrat.

That’s fair, I don’t accept its a 50% split, no way. Nit only were there a lot that didn’t turn out. There were a lot who were disenfranchised and couldn’t vote at all.

If we had a two party system in Germany we’d be just as fucked as the US rn but people here aren’t ready to hear it.

Hmm, you could also say that fewer parties means less “protest voting”.

They are arresting Jews for being against Jews?

Do you mean arresting German Jewish religious folks for being against Israeli Jewish religious folks?

I think the Jewish part cancels eachother out, so it’s just German folks being against Israeli folks.

Protesting Israel in Germany is legally antisemitic even if you are Jewish. Many German Jews have been protesting Israels genocide and were arrested for antisemitism.

They would be worried about their own Nazis more if that were the case. I’ll take the help but lord they are not ok right now.

As a German, I think we should just, for one last great hooray, use all our engineering and science skills into building nukes that will reach their target before the other side can even get their’s off the ground. Then we should nuke the whole US and Russia, which will make the world uninhabitable. I know I know nobody will win, but that means people like Trump, Putin, Musk, Erdogan also won’t.

Yes, and a parade float will totally change things.

They’ll just keep waiting for their trains that are somehow always late despite German reputation for efficiency.
