      Let’s hope so. But the adversaries know this too. My growing realisation is that The 3rd Reich or something like it elsewhere, will most likely come back because of a wink, a nudge & a dogwhistle - not a swastika. You can’t protect a country legally, constitutionally or militarily from this. These things are already playing out all over Europe, even in places that never dreamt they’d be dealing with populist, far right parties ceasing to be on the fringe but becoming mainstream - Sweden for example.

      You’re from germany? Where have you read it? Do you know what happened with the Weimarer Republik? If our secret services warn about it, you should believe it. It’s also not just about the Bundestag, it’s about all institutions. It’s serious.

        We updated the constitution after WW2. I guess it’s one of the most modern in the world. If even trump couldn’t turn the US into a dictatorship despite the horribly outdated constitution and voting system I have relatively high hopes for Germany, even if those idiots get into government for a term.
