In the United States, if Americans know anything about the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, it’s that the AfD are a bunch of Nazi-adjacent hooligans who threaten to return Germany to Hitlerism. They know this because that’s what the American media tell them. Very few will bother to go online to find the English-language version of AfD’s party platform. If they did, they would find a wealth of common sense, and proposals that sound like ordinary GOP positions, even before the Trumpening of the Republican Party.
It’s the same thing in Europe, of course. In her speech last week at CPAC Hungary, AfD leader Alice Weidel said that in Germany, “politicians fear us like no other party, and for good reason.” The reason, of course, is that AfD tells the plain truth about the various crises besieging Germany, especially those caused by mass migration and Islamization. The German establishment would rather demonize and suppress all those who notice the fracturing of their country than deal forthrightly with the problems that their own globalist ideology and managerial, authoritarian liberalism have caused.
I don’t know, though, if Europeans understand how truly horrific things are in Germany for AfD politicians and their supporters. Last Friday, I attended a private meeting with some AfD lawmakers and party officials who were in Budapest for CPAC.

This pathological fear of ordinary humans who think and feel ordinary human things has led Germany to a state of what I call “soft totalitarianism,” and indeed one that is pushing the boundaries of the hard version.
Again, though, the media have no interest in reporting on it, and scarcely more interest in reporting on actual conditions leading populist, nationalist parties like the AfD to gain ground among European peoples.

Civil war might not happen. What might happen though is that Islam gains ascendency in Europe and carries out executions of infidels rivaling the Nazi holocaust. And then, the U.S. will step in and save Europe once again, and the Europeans can go back to sneering at their cousins across the pond.
That would be weird. Europe has been mostly peaceful for millennia.
The Royal Family will end up fleeing to Australia.
The EU will fall apart.
Eastern Europe should remain intact.
if not a peaceful expulsion of Islam, it might make sense
Please tell me that you are joking.
Please?
It has been underway since 2000, the Europeans are frogs in the boiling Islamic-conquest pot...
It has been happening here in the U.S. since 2008...
Maybe there is still time for the American frogs to leap out of the pot...
Starmer first..
Do I have to?
If in the summer of 1905, someone would have published an article predicting the total destruction of all of Europe and the fall of the many of the monarchy states with in 40 years, they would have been a laughingstock.
If it was not for the United States, europe would be in a perpetual war.
“Civil War Can’t Happen in Europe—Or Can it?”
At the rate they going, it’s their only hope. And we are perilously close ourselves. God help us if anything happens to president Trump.
What AfD is facing is what Democrats in the USA would like to do to Republicans.
And the civil war of Europe started long ago. Except it's more European to call it a class war.
Yes. Europe has been Game of Thrones for 2000 years, at least.
The harder the Germans try to escape the clutches of naziism, the more inexorably they rush headlong into those very clutches.
You mean like the French Revolution?
Once all the Germans were warlike and mean
But that couldn’t happen again
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then
I lived in Europe twenty five years after the end of World War II. The Europeans still appreciated the Americans' saving them and fancied everything American, but they nevertheless loved to sneer.
Contemporary Europeans still have a love-hate attitude toward their cousins across the pond.
The smartest thing Europeans could do would be to follow Trump's leadership and the path he has set for America, to embrace a MEGA resolve,
But if they were that smart, they wouldn't be in the mess they're in to begin with.
I agree with you that Trump is priceless and unique, but America has always produced heroes when they were needed. We will again. The secret is liberty, which empowers heroes and allows them to emerge.
Years ago on TV, Oprah asked Trump if he would ever consider running for the Presidency. He replied, "Only if my country really needed me." It did. And the liberty our forefathers established as basic to US law allowed him to come forth and seize the helm.
One of Europe's biggest problems is that they cannot understand liberty and fear their own heroes.
