Highlights:

• "Merz, being a lapdog for the European establishment, has deliberately shut out the AfD from power and decided instead to coalition with the SPD, the Social Democrats who were just voted out of power.”
• “The AfD has now officially surpassed the CDU as the number one most popular party in the nation… This is absolutely unprecedented. We haven’t seen anything like this in German politics for over 70 years.”
• “The supposedly anti-democratic AfD is suing the German government for its radically anti-democracy efforts against the AfD.”
• “ Merz hasn’t even assumed office yet, and he’s already the most unpopular Chancellor in German history
