Quite unfortunate. However:
This is excluding the FW fellow, right? This means they'll all have to follow the same line. It's going to be hard even if it were just these guys. Just look at how difficult it is for just the FDP, SPD and the Greens. Multiply that by a hundred and that's the result of this coalition.
I think they’ll move surprisingly in lockstep to outlaw and criminalize “scary far right” political parties and affiliations.
I'm not sure they can actually do that at the state level. But even if they do, just refound the party under a different name. They'll gain nothing while exposing themselves as the totalitarians that they are.
Unfortunately, they're too smart to do that.
Leftists do not care about "exposing themselves as totalitarians," and they're certainly not too smart to do that -- they do it openly and gleefully because they can.
Exactly this. Within days of the election (which will be stolen obv) it will pivot from:
to:
Talk to the average normie about whether they think the establishment is totalitarian. They want to keep the normies on their side, which is unfortunately not very difficult when you are incharge.
When it's against the AfD they're all in lockstep. The lefties because they're lefties and the CDU because the AfD is competition. It's all one corrupt club.
Edit: They're already doing it on the federal level where the CDU agreed to change the constitution to safeguard leftist subversion of the justice system.
Tony, you're as naive as ever. Yesterday, you said the AfD were the winners in a crushing defeat. Now you want to downplay this mess, and you don't think these parties will work as a united bloc on the big picture stuff? Why the fuck wouldn't they? They're all basically the same party anyway. Come on, man.
There is no mess, and I'm not downplaying anything - when I made my comments, I wasn't even aware of the possible veto. The establishment got its ass whooped. The people who are disappointed had unrealistic expectations, and are basically hoping for a miracle.
Will they work together? They'll try. But like I said, you just need to look at the governing federal coalition. Three parties that are basically the same party, only charged with defrauding different groups of people, and they still do nothing but infighting.
Now add two parties that at the very least pretend to be anti-immigration and antiwoke, and what do you think the results will be?
