Germany goes to the polls today with a very real far right threat and facing the biggest stress test of foreign interference in a democracy yet.

Far right disinformation and influence operations have been coming at them from all angles- Russia, TikTok, Twitter, Musk, even the U.S. vice president has been having a go.

We can't really say this is a free and fair election, but keep everything crossed.

Russia-linked fake videos spread German election fraud claims, authorities warn

POLITICO

59% on Meta.

This is in a country where support for the far right is at about 20%.

@ProjectFearlessness this doesn't account the systemic #ElectionInterference by #Russia and #Billionaires like #Musk, including classics like #Catfishing, #Sabotage of vehicles, and more or less unsuccessful #Disinfo campaigns.

Forgive me, I'm not German so I am having a hard time understanding this point. Merz has said over and over again that he wouldn't ever form a government with AfD. So why are so many Germans convinced he would break this promise?

@ProjectFearlessness because #Merz is a known #liar, #christofacist, #Bankster and #opportunist to the point that if he said the sun shines, I'd not believe him but go outside ti check for myself and at nighttime without moon I'd check with #DLR!

  • Merz in specific and #CDU / #CSU in general CANNOT BE TRUSTED AT ALL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

They are a party of #reactionary #gerontocrats who solely exist due to #GrannyFarming and #corruption aka. #BigDonors!

  • The last "man of honor" at CDU was #WaltherLübcke, and Merz tacitly pisses on his grave by pushing the same #racist shit his murderer did!

And Merz is eager to normalize #NSAfD and their #facism because for a #millionaire & bankster like him, that seems the most #profitable!

Nee, Herr #Spahn, wir haben nicht die gleiche Problemwahrnehmung. Sie sehen die Probleme bei #Geflüchteten und Menschen, die #Bürgergeld empfangen. Ich sehe die Probleme bei #Berufspolitikern wie Ihnen, die als #Gesundheitsminister mal eben ein paar #Milliarden für Masken verballern-ohne jegliche Konsequenzen. #miosga
