The AfD’s rising trajectory demonstrates that – like throughout the rest of the West – voters increasingly want an end to unchecked mass migration.
The anti-mass-migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won the election to the provincial parliaments in the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The AfD’s rising trajectory demonstrates that – like throughout the rest of the West – voters increasingly want an end to unchecked mass migration and its many cultural, economic, and security problems. It also shows that the globalist, pro-mass-migration political and media establishment continues to ignore and demonize the voters and pretend there is no problem.
Although the AfD did not capture a majority of the seats in the Saxony-Anhalt parliament (Landtag), it came within striking distance. Winning 44 percent of the vote, the AfD nevertheless doubled its share from the previous (2021) election and secured its best showing ever. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it more than doubled its vote share.
The biggest losers were the Christian Democrats – the party of Chancellor Friedrich Merz and former Chancellor Angela Merkel – which plummeted from 37 percent five years ago to 17 percent in Saxony-Anhalt. Overall, Merz’s policies, including on immigration, had even lower approval there: a devastating 9 percent. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the CDU got less than 5 percent and didn’t even make it into the Landtag.
The reaction of the political establishment and the media was pretty much the same as in the U.S. following Donald Trump’s presidential victories, or in Britain following Brexit. It was a toxic combination of condescension, finger-wagging moralizing, pearl-clutching shock, and shrill fearmongering. Like the boy who cried wolf, pro-mass-migration voices, both in Germany and elsewhere, labelled the AfD “far right” (while hardly ever using the term far left) and even “fascist,” hoping to terrify whoever would listen

I don’t think the left will give up easily. After all, this is the great battle between good and evil that will never end.
They never give up just regroup just like mudslimes in a ceasefire.
<< the voters are talked down to and told that they are dumb, misinformed, unsophisticated, mean-spirited, unwelcoming, and, perhaps even racists and Nazis. >>
That tactic may still work with brainwashed, guilt-ridden, impressionable idiots, but it’s increasingly losing its power.
The left is in the streets of France burning the country to the ground. They know Le Pan will win in the next election, and they would rather kill you then give up any power.
