Strange voting patterns especially as the east lived through communism

Re: German Election

It's like parts of the valleys hardly any immigration but they are targeted by the right who blame immigration for all the problems

Hence a high turnout for right wing parties

You’re missing the point , as usual it’s nothing to do with immigration, but your narrow minded view always reverts to the same conclusion

Quote from a tweet
This map speaks volumes. East Germany (AfD stronghold) remembers what it was like under communism, while West Germany (CDU stronghold) seems content with the status quo. The divide is clear—those who lived through authoritarianism reject it, while those conditioned by decades of globalist influence keep voting for more of the same. History repeats itself when people refuse to learn from it.

Don't be so stupid

In west Germany it's mostly cosmopolitan

In the east there isn't as much immigration but like in some places in the UK immigration is still blamed for all the problems

East Germany has always had a far right problem

The history repeating itself is that the march of the far right leads to even more problems

It's got nothing to do with big government or fear of Europe or anything , it's the rise of the right and nationalism

The only people generally bothered by authority and government are conspiracy nutters

People are not turning to the far right because they are all libertarian conspiracy theorists .....its economic decline and the fake promises of the right who blame immigrants and target the poorer vote

Christ who tweeted that cobblers ?

The east Germans are voting far right to reject authoritarianism .....the west Germans are " conditioned " by decades of globalist influence keep voting for more of the same

You may not have tweeted that but it certainly sounds like one of your fantasy neo libertarian post 2020 themes ��

There is another significant factor involved i.e. still a lingering resentment in the Länder that were previously in the GDR. Many people feel like re-unification was effectively a takeover of the GDR by the then BDR - and that business opportunists from the latter plundered what they could and that many industries were shut down due to them being considered uneconomic.
Many such people feel like second-class citizens in BDR version 2 - and those at the bottom are always the first to feel threatened by others joining the socio-economic ladder below them.
Some of the older ex-GDR population (who may or may not be AfD supporters) perceived the BDR as materialistic, too competitive and a threat to things they previous considered as certainities in life, including their fixed pensions.
The Länder concerned do seem to a fertile ground for protest votes regardless of other issues involved, including the racial aspect and the number of terrorist incidents in Germany assigned to those from certain regions of the world.

They expected far more than that

Actually, they were polling between 20-21% so the 20.8% is inline with, if not slightly higher than expected

Cobblers

I mean it literally is the truth, but I know you just write "cobblers" to anything irrespective of reality.

What the far right expected ....what they wanted .....and what they thought they were going to get ......was a lot more than 20 percent

What don't you understand about that ?

Reform were polling at 16 percent for the general election ....they were cockt too and thought and expected more

They actually only got 14 percent

Hopefully even you as a far right voter can understand the difference between what was ...predicted , what they wanted .....and what these clowns actually get

You truly are stark raving mad Sludge. The statement I said earlier is absolutely factually correct. Just accept it!
