This is how destruction of freedom of speech & media independence looks like, it’s autocratization & unlevelling the playing field. Yet again, it is not surprising what Trump does, but shocking how weak resistance by civil society & media is. Democratic society in the U.S. is not up to the task.

Regular reminder to 🇩🇪 parties who see such numbers: That AfD got strong bc nobody represented right-wing populist positions does not mean that AfD will lose if you adopt such positions. Often it may just make things worse: you acknowledge you were wrong, AfD was right & now you appear spineless.
