A new opinion poll shows the likely future Chancellor Friedrich Merz from the conservative CDU party losing support even before his government is formed. The populist AfD is cashing in on the dissatisfaction.

Already there is a new trend, according to the latest Deutschlandtrend survey conducted for German broadcaster ARD. Pollster infratest dimap surveyed a representative sample of 1,334 eligible German voters from March 31 to April 2. The CDU/CSU slumped to 26%, their lowest level since October 2022, while the AfD reached a new high of 24%.

Seven out of ten respondents in the ARD Deutschlandtrend survey would like to see higher import tariffs on US products in retaliation

    Part of it is the US turning far right. Everyone here uses american apps and social media. When those platforms turn far right, so do more people around the world. China’s TikTok is doing the exact same. We need domestic services quick or the entire world will turn into a fascist hellhole.

      I know a lot of the Nazis took inspiration from eugenics movements in the US, so I am sad to see that the same migration of ideas is still happening today.

      Morbid curiosity has me wondering what will happen if the entire world turns fascist, rather than just a couple of countries who get targeted by antifascist militaries from the rest of the world.
