While Germany has a far-right party, the AfD, Alternative für Deutschland, which received 10.4% of the vote in 2021, there really is no equivalent to the low-brow MAGA movement in the United States.
Perhaps that’s because the average German is far better educated than most modern-day Americans, or because Germany underwent one of world history’s most catastrophic events in terms of humanitarianism in the 1930s/40s, and the remembrance of it continues to affect the national ethos.
In any case, as shown at left, the vast majority of the German people understand that environmentalism is the only thing that can possibly save our home planet from ruin. There is something to be said for that.
Until very recently, there was virtually no controversy about things like the meme here.
Our Constitution, which used to be understood and respected by all Americans, makes the eligibility requirements for the House and Senate quite clear. The U.S. had been content with that for almost 250 years.
Now, Trump and his semi-literate base have turned this on its head.

Take a Cool Guess—The Fun Quiz on Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability. Today’s Topic: World’s Happiest Countries
Question: What’s going on with all these happy countries?
I had the pleasure of speaking with a guy from Sweden not too long ago about this topic, and I happened to mention Demark, to which he replied, “We hate the Danes.”
He immediately broke into a grin and added, “I’m kidding, of course. People from the happiest counties on Earth don’t hate anybody. But we do have a rivalry going on.”
Can you discern any common ground among these nations?
Answer: Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.
Admiral McRaven made this statement in 2020; God only knows what he’s thinking about this now.
I continue to wonder how it’s possible that people of honor like out top military commanders don’t simply refuse to comply with orders that are so clearly illegal and immoral.
