⤋ Read More
@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net The outcome was to be expected but it’s still pretty catastrophic. Here’s an overview:
East Germany is dominated by AfD. Bavaria is dominated by CSU (it’s always been that way, but this is still a conservative/right party). Black is CDU, the other conservative/right party.
The guy who’s probably going to be chancellor recently insulted the millions of people who did demonstrations for peace/anti-right. “Idiots”, “they’re nuts”, stuff like that. This was before the election. He already earned the nickname “Mini Trump”.
Both the right and the left got more votes this time, but the left only gained 3.87 percentage points while the right (CDU/CSU + AfD) gained 14.72:
The Green party lost, SPD (“mid-left”) lost massively (worst result in their history). FDP also lost. These three were the previous government.
This isn’t looking good at all, especially when you think about what’s going to happen in the next 4 years. What will CDU (the winner) do? Will they be able to “turn the ship around”? Highly unlikely. They are responsible for the current situation (in large parts). They will continue to do business as usual. They will do anything but help poor/ordinary people. This means that AfD will only get stronger over the next 4 years.
Our only hope would be to ban AfD altogether. So far, nobody but non-profit organizations is willing to do that (for unknown reasons).
I don’t even know if banning the AfD would help (but it’s probably our best/only option). AfD politicians are nothing but spiteful, hateful, angry, similar to Trump/MAGA. If you’ve seen these people talk and still vote for them, then you must be absolutely filled with rage and hatred. Very concerning.

Short summary of Project2025 and Trump’s plans for the US:
Abolish the Federal Reserve
Why? To end what is seen as an unelected, centralized body that exerts too much influence over the economy and monetary policy, replacing it with a more transparent, market-driven approach.Implement a national consumption tax
Why? To replace the current federal income tax system, simplify taxation, and increase government revenue through a broader base that includes all consumers.Lower corporate tax rates
Why? To promote business growth, increase investment, and stimulate job creation by reducing the financial burden on companies.Deregulate environmental policies
Why? To reduce government intervention in the economy, particularly in energy and natural resources sectors, and to foster a more business-friendly environment.Restrict abortion access
Why? To align with conservative pro-life values and overturn or limit abortion rights, seeking to restrict the practice at a federal level.Dismantle LGBTQ+ protections
Why? To roll back protections viewed as promoting LGBTQ+ rights in areas like employment and education, in line with traditional family values.Eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs
Why? To end policies that are seen as divisive and to promote a merit-based system that prioritizes individual achievements over group identity.Enforce stricter immigration policies, including mass deportations and detentions
Why? To prioritize border security, reduce illegal immigration, and enforce existing laws more aggressively, as part of a broader strategy to safeguard U.S. sovereignty.Eliminate the Department of Education
Why? To reduce federal control over education and shift responsibilities back to local governments and private sectors, arguing that education decisions should be made closer to the community level.Restructure the Department of Justice
Why? To ensure the department aligns more closely with the administration’s priorities, potentially reducing its scope or focus on areas like civil rights in favor of law-and-order policies.Appoint political loyalists to key federal positions
Why? To ensure that government agencies are headed by individuals who are committed to advancing the administration’s policies, and to reduce the influence of career bureaucrats.Develop training programs for appointees to execute reforms effectively
Why? To ensure that political appointees are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the proposed changes quickly and effectively.Provide a 180-day transition plan with immediate executive orders
Why? To ensure that the incoming administration can swiftly implement its agenda and make major changes early in its term without delay.
