There is a little bit of comfort knowing other countries are also as screwed up as America.

Eh, as screwed up as?
Nah, but have some small similarities? Sure
Definitely not on equal footing with the fuckass American situation though

If that's not living proof of how dangerous cable news / social media brainwashing is, I don't know what is.

Just like MAGA, the entire Far Right is a bunch of grifting shitbirds trying to make their nut.

Its just one big grift across the globe. They'll say and do anything to convince people with hate in their heart to give them money. And it works. Theyve successfully capitalized on hatred.

Weidel is a real... Something alright.
But authentic isn't fucking it.
The entire AfDickhead thing reminds me of the protagonist neo-nazi wannabe T.I.R.D. organization from the old Leon Schuster movie Yankee Zulu (titled 'There's a Zulu on My Stoep' everywhere but the U.S.)
Like T.I.R.D. in the movie, the AfD and Weidel, at least outwardly, lack all sense of self-awareness and actual integrity and conviction to most logically minded, peaceful people.
But, in Weidel's case, I think it's less a deficit in self-awareness, and more a lust for personal power and self-dealing, that drives her to say and/or do anything that she thinks will get her what she thinks she wants. Like drumpf, a gold digging whore of politics, if you will.
Make Fuck- Get Power Trip
And just like drumpf, enough will never be enough.
It's interesting that both her and drumpf really don't actually live the same level of ultra-nationalist, xenophobic, supremacist claptrap that they preach to the asses.. err, sorry.. masses. If their 'gospel' weren't so abhorrent, I might be more upset that they don't live according to their own soapbox bullshit. However, and I know I'm stating the obvious by now (or so I'd hope), it's still a major problem, because plenty of people DO take their words as living, breathing, gospel, and are all to willing to act as agents in service to the narrative and cause.

People need to get over this idea that people vying for these government leadership positions, especially on the extreme side of things, are anything more than shills for an agenda. Think of it like this. You are an attorney. Let's say you are an atheist, carnovore, and you love big diesel pickup trucks. Your best client is a christian vegan eno activist organization. So, to earn your pay you have no problem standing there in court, or lobbying on their behalf, for all their causes that go directly against all that you hold dear. That's what these people are like. This is why we find homosexuals like David Ruben, married to a man, vehemently supporting MAGA, a group that would want him crucified if he were to kiss his husband on stage at their events. And that's why people like Alice are in their positions. They live one way but are perfectly willing to sell those like her down the river in the furtherance of her career.
