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.
If you’re looking for an indication as to how far the United States has fallen, what our president said at left here is a good measure.
To call it “childish” is an insult to little kids everywhere.
Oh, he’s simply a liar, to be sure. But let’s give him credit: that’s his one and only job, i.e., to sew complete BS into the minds of those least able to process it and see it for what it is.
He’s the male version of Karoline Leavitt: quite talented at lying at every turn to support the criminal-in-chief.
A 2024 state audit revealed that California spent $24 billion on homelessness programs between 2018 and 2023 but did not consistently track whether this spending reduced homelessness. The money is not physically “missing”; rather, the state failed to collect sufficient data to evaluate the effectiveness of the funds.
If you are implying that Gavin Newsom misappropriated these funds, you are a revolting human being.
If you infer from this that Newsom is a criminal, you’re a moron, and you’re a huge part of what makes this country so totally dysfunctional.
