Even if one supports the so called "far right" in European countries for good reason, and appreciates the LGBT of MAGA who support & even work for Trump here at home...It's important not to project the landscape of America's social & spiritual realities onto theirs. Very different.

Personally, it's hard to discern a clear "good guy" in some of these countries because anti-Semitism in particular still looms large in Germany (and Europe general) from all sides.

The rightward shift of gay, lesbian, and bisexual voters is a dynamic playing out across western Europe. In the UK, France, and now Germany, gay voters or their allies are backing far-right or nativist political parties at growing rates. - Vox

Deep state media trying to propagandize its way out of the contradiction its created for itself by calling AfD neo-nazis.

Far right is such a useless term here. These people support a German First policy, no illegals, and less EU interference in their affairs.

The LGBT ‘community’ will be exterminated when Muslims take over. No rocket science as to why a lesbo would oppose that. Too late!

There are PLENTY of 100% conservative gay people in the US.

For a lot of them.. LGB is completely separate from all of the “T” people.

BUT, at some point, I have to think that this is a matter of self preservation.

Esp in EU where they have out of control influx of hard core/ Sharia Islamists that are NOT firnedly to gay people.

Gay, is not a monolithic designation. What matters is the details. “Gay” as it is portrayed in the alphabet bake-my-cake-or-else sense is pure communism. A homosexual, often lumped in with “gay,” is someone who is attracted to the same sex. That sample of the electorate can be liberal, conservative or middle-of-the-road...politically. They resemble one another in the same way a cat resembles a dog from a certain altitude. Two wildly different things when seen up close.

“Far-right” is pejorative, conservative is descriptive.

Even if one supports the so called "far right" [...]

I would urge all conservatives and especially FReepers to avoid adopting this terminology defined by the left-wing!

Don't cede the linguistic ground to them!

AFD is not “Moscow friendly”. It is German-1st, and Euro sceptic. It is only pro EU-centric sources that refer to that as “Moscow friendly”.

The EU would have remained a decent thing if it had remained a purely free trade union and stayed out of becoming the “federal government” over the EU members.

On Sunday the 46-year-old, who says Margaret Thatcher is her political idol, led the Moscow-friendly AfD to a record result of around 20 percent.

The lady is smart..

AfD is labeled by the state-run media and the propagandists as “far right”. Alice herself refers to AfD as “libertarian conservative”. Wanting secure borders and an energy policy that doesn’t rely on unreliable wind and solar energy is hardly what I’d refer to as “far right”. The CDU/CSU SPD coalition is a joke. Get rid of the stupid firewall and form a coalition with AfD instead of SPD. Freddie is just one clown replacing another clown in the new coalition. Nothing will change with him replacing Olaf.

This shows just how deranged is the left. They talk “inclusive,” yet they are the ones who attack most viciously people whom they think should be left who actually think for themselves.

Consider gay and lesbian conservatives, such as this person, the leader of the AfD Party. We will protect them from the radical Muslims. This goes back to Pim Fortuyn of Netherlands.

Does our protection of gays and lesbians from radical Muslims mean we endorse their life style choices? No. We defend everybody. We defend gays and lesbians because they’re part of everybody.

Far right == in favor of immigration restriction

Period.

In today's Europe "far right" has nothing to to with militarism, regimentation,
monarchism, or any other 19th or 20th century European "far right" things.

And it never meant American style "small government conservatism".
Or "isolationism".
