Democracy is in danger.

We all must stay together.

Tomorrow are the election here in Germany, Trump and Vance make propaganda for the Nazis=Russian-party.

Our books of history in the school are detailed and without lies.

your words are very true...one earth, one humanity.

Everyone has red blood: we are all equal.

Our earth has such big problems, we need our strength and intelligence to solve them together.

Instead we now have to deal with dictatorships that are just a note in the history book anyway.

The GOP/King Trump/President Musk will be despised as a warning to future generations.

Precisely!! I've never ever understood how can so many human beings be so offensive, rapacious, rambunctious, aggressive (and it's always authoritarians who are that way first) towards each other when the Mother Nature (or call it God, Higher Force, Fate, Luck...) has us all in its/their grasp as our one and only lifetime is so short yet always vulnerable to dangerous diseases, natural disasters of all sorts, accidents of all sorts. All of those "natural" dangers lurk even when it's total peace and harmony (hence, nothing, not even then, can be perfect, only, better, and, it's never ever boring) while under stressful circumstances such as these socio-political conflicts, strifes, wars... a mere survival becomes unbearable often.

Life is difficult as is, it's why I can't handle anymore the unreasonable ones making it even more difficult!!

My great great grandparents came to America in the mid 1800s. I often wished that they had not left, so I could be living in Germany instead of the USA, as they have unions, health care, and so much. But now? I am fervently hoping that Sunday's elections show the Nazi party to the door. No going back!

Oliver, what is your take on yesterday's election results in Germany? Do you think Vance's disgraceful remarks at the Munich Security Conference hurt or helped the AfD party, who managed to increase their support since the last election?

Please accept my apologies for Hegseth and Vance's hypocritical and shameful preaching to Europe in Munich about democracy. Most Americans are horrified by what this tyrannical regime is doing to our reputation around the world and here at home.

Hello Oaktown, thanks for your words!

I guess the behavior of Vance helps the Nazis here because Vance words are exactly the same words like the AfD ( AfD is a russian friendly party, they want to destroy Nato and the EU ) .

The result of the election was alarming: the AfD get from 10 % to 20 % .

The goverment from Merz has big pressure and very dificult situation in the country.

If Merz fail, the next election AfD is with 30 % says the press.

At least you have time to prepare and change course before the next election. I hope your politicians and people will study mistakes made here in the U.S. that paved the way for our first dictator. The same tech titans (Thiel, Musk, Sachs, Yarvin et al.) who are behind our coup are going after Germany, the UK and other western democracies. They truly want to run the world.

Wishing your country and Merz great success in uniting an effective and unified coalition to preserve democracy. There are signs of hope here; Americans are waking up and fighting back. Courage is contagious and even some of the red Nazis in Congress understand the importance of protecting our NATO allies from Putin.

thanks Oaktown, its great that America is waking up, i guess there will be big changes in America because a dictator is not possible in America.

Yes, Merz will do it good, he is pure democrat and intelligent. He makes mistakes but he learn.

Our press and goverment is monitoring exactly what is happen in USA and the plans of the far right.

The voter participation was 82,5 %, in the AfD region it was higher than the average.

But things can change very fast in my country: your goverment makes several scandals every day. One scandal from AfD and she looses 2 % the next month.
