Mainstream politicians express alarm while lead candidate in Saxony-Anhalt welcomes congratulations from Elon Musk

Mainstream politicians around Europe have expressed alarm after the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) swept to a historic state election victory in Germany, while nationalist figures cheered the result as a mandate for change.

While falling just short of an absolute majority, the AfD surged into first place in the Saxony-Anhalt state election on Sunday, exit polls ⁠showed, putting the far right within reach ​of power at ‌the state level for ‌the first time since the second world war.

      Might want to turn your eyes to Alberta then. Lucky for you your right-wing freaks were pushed back under a rock when Trump 2.0 started. They won’t stay quiet for long. As Canada deteriorates they’ll climb back out.

          Bro, y’all have a fascist problem too. Carney probably wouldn’t have won if Trump didn’t threaten annexation. You’d have PP the Trump admirer.

          I’m not trying to talk shit here. Be wary of the fascists within your own border too.
