U.S. president’s praise for Friedrich Merz’s ‘conservatives’ offers a glimmer of hope after the White House’s brutal criticism of Europe.

    Dumbass doesn’t even know that it’s supposed to be AfD he’s rooting for, and that Germany’s “conservative” party is more akin to centrist Democrats and are actively against him.

      Sorry but that is just not true. The CDU/CSU is as close to fascism as they can be while trying to keep the mantle of a centrist party, like they colluded with the fascist noAfD already. Also Friedrich Merz’s grandfather was a Nazi. He was a mayor of the only town that had a Workers Strike when the NSDAP came into power. And he violently beat that Strike town to the core, so that certainty gives a vibe to Friedrich. So yeah maybe the noAfD is the more open fascist party but don’t think the CDU/CSU is far from it, they are in many points just as bad or worst them the noAfD and Trump endorsing them actually feels right.
