“What have they got to lose?”

I read a fascinating study about assassinations. In not one of the cases studied did the assassin achieve his political aim. Germany needs to solve its problem by changing the attitudes of enough voters to put a party in that is not communist or globalist, which is what they have now. Their political system is unbelievably weak. Usually two parties have to form a coalition. Like arbitration between two disputing people, nobody gets what they want. The AFD party, the smallest, is the only one of the five that is openly against immigration. They poll between 11-19%, depending on location.

Voters are unlikely to switch in bulk because the parties have a platform that includes 30-40 items that may include all the give-aways that the gimmedat’s want. To switch because of immigration, which does not effect the bulk of voters directly might mean giving up six weeks of paid vacation or early retirement as well.

We are doomed. We have many of the same problems. The stuff that's killing us is politically popular and cannot be repealed.

All I see is a lot of future bloodshed.
