Nice to see the US get its due recognition among peers in the headline.

I don’t think of Musk as American in any sense
He's basically co-president now, if anything he's making more decisions than Trump who just signs stuff the P2025 people give him.

the US definitely at the top of the list, along with NGOs like the WEF, after that all the usual conspiracies

Everyone who has even been in an abusive relationship will tell you it's one thing to recognize being manipulated. It's a whole other thing to act properly on it.

I've almost never seen polls that high before

Welcome to the fucking club

Well the good news is that the United States interference and the Russian interference it's basically the same so you know maybe a little bit easier?

Best friends with Axel Springer, good friends with Elon Musk...
Heck, the Bild recently attacked the protests against rising fascism as "antisemitic" because the zionist provocateur and FDP politician Karoline Preisler felt unwelcome at one protest.
In the name of "protecting Jewish life" the Bundestag passed two resolutions attacking culture, science and education, demanding people who voice criticism of Israel to be purged from any government funded positions. Of course this was hailed by the Fascists of the AfD. This also violates core principals of the German constitution.
Critics, in particular Jewish critics of these resolutions were completely ignored and it remains unknown to the public, who, how and when these resolutions were negotiated. The complete lack of transparency and the support from supposedly progressive parties like Greens and SPD of the now far right CDU and FDP to the AfD fascists does raise the question, how this almagation of support came together. The AfD seemed not to be directly involved in the negotiations of the resolutions, but the methods and targets are perfect for them.
Universities are the least antisemitic spaces in German society, yet they have bern targeted extensively by people claiming to "fight antisemitism"

Regardless i dont see how that makes my comment any less valid. Those with massive wealth use their money to support these campaigns and present an image of strong support within the population although this isnt truly the case however they dont care because they want to manipulate the narrative to manufacture consent. This wont work in Germany with their election laws. Also Germany has much better education standards than the usa so a good percentage of the population will outright reject blatant fascism.

Gerrymandering is unknown over here, we do have personalised elections but that only influences who specifically of a party gets into parliament, not the percentages the different parties get. Voter intimidation would cause an absolute clusterfuck and the courts would probably invalidate the vote, mis/disinformation well we've had that since forever it's politics as usual. The Bild hasn't changed. Things like ballot stuffing are completely unheard of, there's too many eyes on everything, it's very common to see local party people as election observers, and with that I mean quite literally every party, also the local municipal one which doesn't even run on the state/federal level. It's a ritual.
Fun fact: You generally don't lose your right to vote when being committed of a crime, only the right to assume office, for some time, even for murder etc. Exception: Political crimes like high treason and, now that's poetic justice, electoral fraud.
