Every time there's any news from the EU, they always put "Russia." AHAHAHAHA. Some people asked, "Why did the AfD win?" Well, Merz, the Generous, gave billions and billions of euros to Ukraine, a different country, while Germany, his own country, is dying, and you will ask why the AfD wins. Did the word "common sense" leave the European countries?

Will we in the West ever get out of this nonsensical thing where we blame externalities whenever the &quot;wrong&quot; people win? Why can all the media and politicians not just acknowledge the simple reality that they have been awful at their jobs for far too long and now the time of reckoning has come...<br><br>Russia has nothing to do with this just like Russia had nothing to do with Trump getting elected in 2016 - as has been proven.<br><br>Can you stop these cheap and unbelievably pathetic attempts and just be honest?

The only way to avoid further extremism in Germany, is for the middle to recognise and respect the issues that makes Germans vote for the AfD, rather than demonize them and ignore them. <br>That&#39;s is the certain way to encourage the extremists and get worse voting results each time. Danish Social Democrats woke up after a similar situation in Denmark 20 years ago and began to Listen to the voters and that took the wind out of the equivalent Danish AfD, Dansk Folke Parti.

Saxony-Anhalt is a rural area with a small population in relation to the whole country. So, don&#39;t panic, but do pay attention, or you&#39;ll end up with a government as unhinged as the US under Trump. Hopefully the US midterm elections will put the brakes on some of Trump&#39;s excesses by restoring balance in the house and senate.

A question from an American who follows DW News almost daily: who writes the leads? I ask because I genuinely think your reporting is excellent, but lately I’ve noticed the lead sometimes seems more dramatic or loaded than the reporting that follows. In this case Saxony-Anhalt is introduced as older, less diverse and one of the least representative parts of Germany. But then your own excellent discussion explores high turnout, years of grassroots campaigning, economic anxiety, infrastructure, pensions and concerns that extend beyond eastern Germany. <br>The same thing happened with the “shock waves” coverage. Your own reporters later acknowledged that AfD’s strong showing was widely expected and that the real surprise was how badly the CDU performed. Sometimes it feels as though the excellent reporting that follows ends up answering—or even undermining—the premise of the lead. Is the lead written by the same journalists who do the reporting? Genuinely curious, because I think DW is at its best when it lets that deeper reporting speak for itself.

Maybe Germany should divide again. The East can leave the EU, and become a Balkan state filled to the brim with corruption. Watching them destroy their country, like Orban did to Hungary, would keep the other side in check. In 2050, they can reunify again, and the circle is complete for another 80 years.
