    One good thing that may come of Trump is shaking a lot of complacency out of other countries. Maybe even hurting the far right in them, once the population gets a lot of exposure to full MAGA.

      This likely get the far right and pro russian party Afd into power. So don’t get your hopes up, quite the opposite.

        I’m no political analyst… and I do fear the possibility of a CDU + AfD coalition being possible… But from what I’ve seen over the past few days the CDU and SPD seem to be pre-sorting for a CDU + SPD coalition, which is also possible if the polls are to be believed.

        I wouldn’t quite lose hope yet.

        Edit: I’m still highly annoyed though that Germany let the government collapse now, right as Europe needs to get its act together and make preparations for another Trump term.

          Unless the CDU decides to do a Macron, i.e. campaign alongside SPD and turn around after the elections because they’re ideologically much closer to AfD.
