The German establishment has long been given to calling anybody they don’t like Racist, Nazi, Fascist Hitler in the most shrill terms possible no matter how laughably nonsensical that is. As for being smug, self righteous and holding the views of others in contempt, NOBODY ON EARTH could be better described by those characteristics than the German political establishment. They manage to be even worse about that than the British Political Establishment.
Sadly, I don’t think its possible for Germany to save itself. The damage done is already too great. Deindustrialization is certain. Energy prices are simply too high for them to compete anymore and too many lack the spine needed to tell the Establishment to shove it and to deport the Muslim/African rapefugees the Establishment invited in and protects.
Oh, you mean like the democrats here in the USA?
