The leader of the German conservatives introduced the idea to collaborate with the far right AfD yesterday. He knows that he won’t get kicked out or replaced as the party leader. He will paddle back a bit after some backlash and that’s it. It doesn’t matter that he just meant on a community level either. The idea to collaborate with Nazis is now officially speakable without consequences. I feel sick!!
@bastianallgeier Same. He is on a mission to tear down the last walls between his party and the (legally proven) Facists by releasing one testing balloon after the other.
This means either he is unfit beyond recognition for his job, or worse, cunning into a (perceived) position of power, no matter the cost. Or both.
