Calling the AfD "far right" is a lazy dismissal and scare mongering. The status quo is unfettered immigration that undeniably harms Germans, ideological brainwashing (the rainbow flags), energy development in rural areas, and lack of national pride. Hence the popularioty of an alternative.

This is particularly interesting as we also read about de-worming (fenbendazole) and antiparasitic (ivermectin) drugs being effectively used against cancer in humans.

@govtrack.us writes, “the Senate is diverging from popular opinion far more than ever before,” but doesn't actually examine that opinion. Dems representing large states may well be the one whose votes are divergent from popular opinion. www.govtrack.us/posts/589/20...

Has anyone said solar panels don't work in the cold? This is lame paper tiger snark. The problem that has been raised is snow covering them, not cold temperatures. There is also the fact of less hours of sunlight at lower angles. @ferst60.bsky.social
