German Election

[Doctor Phibes]

I'm just waiting for the copycat thread

[Jolly]

Klaus can weigh in on that one, too.

[Horace]

Young men the world over are moving right.

I got that chart from Bluesky, and the most common response is women, vowing to never have sex with any such men.

It appears that the former West Germany voted for the Christian Democrats and the former East Germany (other than Berlin) delivered the AfD vote.

I’m so old that I can remember East Germany being pretty much the last hold out in the Soviet bloc. I guess perestroika never did catch the collective imagination of the volk in the east.

[Jolly]

Same women that have turned lesbian?

[Mik]

Merz looks like Jon's dad.

You didn't get that quite right. "Linke" is a very left-wing socialist party.

[Horace]

@Klaus I was looking at AfD?

[Klaus]

Oh I see. But given that more young people voted left-wing your caption doesn't seem to be consistent with the graphics.

It’s not about the actual number, it’s about the significant growth. It’s a far larger number than a few short years ago.
