The globalist Left is defined by cancel culture. Its solution to anything opposed to its dictates is to label the opposition and ban it. Hence Leftists are calling for the banning of the AfD; they would rather ban the opposition party than address the immigration issue.
This solution of banning opposition has been remarkably successful, but populations can only be played for fools for so long.
The AfD victory was not only driven by frustration with open-door migration, but with other irrational globalist practices such as the extreme green agenda and a ruined economy stemming from ruinous economic policies.
Similar shifts to populism can be seen in Italy, Sweden and Greece.
“‘Political Earthquake’ German Populists Win First Governing Post,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, June 26, 2023:
Germany’s populist AfD party shocked the political establishment in the country after securing its first-ever district council election victory on Sunday despite all other major parties banding together to support the other candidate.
In what the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has described as the beginning of a “political earthquake”, its candidate for district administrator in Sonneberg, Robert Sesselmann was elected on Sunday with 52.8 per cent of the vote, besting Jürgen Köpper of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
The victory for the AfD represents the first time that a politician from the right-wing populist party will be in a governing position in the country since the party’s founding in 2013. The election win also comes in the face of steep opposition from the German political establishment, with every other national party calling on their supporters to back the CDU candidate.
The AfD leader in the local state of Thuringia, Björn Höcke, said according to state broadcaster Deutsche Welle, that the win in Sonneberg demonstrated the growing popularity of the anti-mass migration party.
“And then we’ll prepare for the state elections in the east, where we can really create a political earthquake,” Höcke said in reference to the upcoming state parliament elections in Brandenburg, Thuringia, and Saxony.
Amid the widespread failures of the left-wing ‘Traffic light’ coalition government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, from the handling of the Chinese coronavirus, the failures of the green agenda to buffer losses in Russian energy, and the persistent levels of crippling inflation, the populist AfD party has capitalised politically to such an extent that they are now polling ahead of Chancellor Scholz’s Social Democrat Party (SPD)…..
Ironically, despite the legacy media, political elites, and even the country’s security services branding the party as “far-right” and “extremists”, there have been suggestions from Berlin to ban the party outright rather than to address the issues, such as the negative impacts of mass migration….

The “Germans seem to feel they should help needy people in the Third World, including Muslim and Africdan countries. But mass migration brings not just needy individuals but also entire cultures with their ideologies and aims along. And as well people who would like to coopt the European culture and replace it or subordinate it to their own. And there are perhaps a billion needy people in the world. How many can Germany assimilate? Would it remain Germany if a quarter to a half of the population held the ideology espoused by many migrants? If the number of migrants equalled the current population, would it still be Germany? And would the flow of migrants stop at some point when it became a burden, or would it continue pushing into the country? What is enough, and what happens to the poor people who are still not inside Germany? No one wants to ask or answer such questions. So, if one tries to talk about open borders in the USA, liberals will simply refuse to listen and will try to change the topic.

The most outrageous aspect of Angela Merkel’s decision some 12 years ago was not only did she ruin her own country – she pulled down all of Europe w/ it. Hopefully, every EU country follows the example of Italy and elects parties/leaders like AfD, For Britain/Britain First, Danish People’s Party in Denmark, Eric Zemmour in France & so on, as well as send such people to the EU parliament to dismantle that mega-bureaucracy, and start expelling all these “migrants”. They can go back to their countries

Congratulations to Robert Sesselmann of the AFD Deutschland party for his political victory! Nationalists should push back calling “progressives” who support mass migration “globalist left” and “far left” party members. Give these negative labels right back to them! That’s how lefties have shamed conservative political Party members with name calling,
Far Right labels. But thankfully it’s no longer working! Too many indigenous citizens have become victims of mass migration, especially from those of Muslim backgrounds. Add up all the rapes, robberies, child grooming & molestation charges and indigenous people are FINALLY seeing the devastation in their own communities brought on by illegal migrants! Add on housing shortages, overcrowded schools, separate swimming pools sessions, mandatory halal meats for their school age children…all contributing factors in the political left pushbacks! Hope Marine LePen wins in France during the next Presidential election! Looking better each passing day!

Or better than Marine LePen would be Eric Zemmour, given LePen’s following the old template of just opposing Israel

A welcome win for AfD, but coming a tad late. If AfD does get a majority in the Bundestag, it will be an uphill battle for them to clean house
Also, what exactly is the “traffic light coalition”? I’m assuming red, amber & green, w/ red being the communists aka social democrats, green being the islamists, but which part is the amber? Or do they simply not have orange lights in Deutschland?

The AfD candidate in Thuringia wins almost 53% of the votes in Thuringia, the eco-communist regime in Germany wants to ban AfD politicians from winning elections

AfD the only sane people in the madhouse of Germany, much like other western nations. Hopefully the voting population is becoming more sober and sane and realizes the threat posed by Islamic/African immigration…we need parties like this in every western country.
So sick of Islam and Muslims…hopefully they’ll fix the mess the Left largely created (the Right shares some blame too).
