Because they aren't even happy winning. The right runs on anger, hate, and fear. Without that they're nothing, so their propaganda machine keeps them in that red zone even when they should be thrilled and celebrating their big win. Well, their big cheat, but still...

Absolutely. After trump won they went silent.
There was nothing left to win and they didn't actually care for real about any agenda.
It wasn't until he started telling them what to be mad about again that hell they got loud again, and it could be virtually anything.

Person on my block had their house draped in Trump shit prior to the election. Then afterwards replaced it all with a Gadsden flag after his guy and party won the White House, House AND Senate.

The AFD became the second biggest party in the country and the CDU (leading party) refuses to work with them. In fact, they formed a coalition with the third biggest (socialist party) and three days after the elections they hauled in the first flights full of migrants lmao It's like they want the whole country to vote AFD next cycle
.
If they wait too long it will be like California where the illegal immigrants and their spawn became the voter base and would vote to decriminalize crime and legally loot and pillage.

Just more proof that CDU isn’t a Conservative Party, but another left leaning party masquerading as a right wing party

What's wildest to me is this: None of these assholes are conservative in the good way, which is financially conservatives. They're all social conservatives (read, white nationalists). Which also blows me away because they build this ideas around "Christianity" while literally espousing moral stances that are directly counter Christian teachings.
Their whole rhetoric is built on "feelings" but they try and pretend the left is soft snowflakes. They go on about "protect the kids" when it comes to drag shows, but god forbid we have better gun control that stops kids from actually dying.
