Reposted by mike1880Agreiz @agreiz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026More extreme opinions get more engagement, which is rewarded. Second thing is: don't think you are better than the Americans just because your country isn't led by Trump. Are you really sure that a Trump-like person has no chance of winning in your country? Look at Germany's Saxony-Anhalt state. 2181
