      New era my dude. The baddy is now Cletus, or Stephen. As a German, I would have preferred if the US had learned from our mistakes, but at least they are the assholes now and we can finally get some rest.

          USA: fascist regime, raging war and taking lives around the world and in their own country.

          Germany: party left of the GDP GOP gains some traction.

          This dude: AH-HA! THEY’RE THE BADDIES!

            More like both are baddies. Or am I to understand that the AFD have no fascist tendency of their own and are just a bog standard conservative party

              Oh AfD 100% baddies. That’s not a question. I’m talking about the country, because the AfD is not in government at the moment and even if, they wouldn’t be able to govern alone, our system doesn’t accept that, at least as long as they aren’t in a spectacular majority. The US failed spectacularly at implementing checks and balances. AfD beyond baddies. USA as well.

        Yes I was also going to comment the same as above but didn’t because I was concerned that people wouldn’t get the reference.
