The only thing that trickled down during Trump’s administration was Rudy’s hair dye.

The text is framed by a decorative border with floral patterns in the corners and small diamond shapes in the center of each side.

I couldn't agree more with you! Also, historically, whenever radical ideologists (usually fascists) managed to use new media to their advantage, it ended badly. Unfortunately, extremists know to use new media as manipulation way before other forces even begin to understand what's happening.

Thank you! It is pretty clear that the Christian Democratic party (CDU) will receive the most votes. But is has to be expected that the AfD will receive 20% or more as well. If it goes real bad they will reach blocking minority, so I hope dearly that at least this can be avoided.
