        Yeah, I was aware of the likeliness of that, and the partial fallacy of my comment, but I wanted to point out the resignation of living in a democracy and finding out the majority is voting for morons.

            I am thinking what I will do if the populists ever become part of the government in Germany. I would probably emigrate & support whatever country is least evil, plus actively trying to convince empathetic Germans to leave the country and let the populists rot in their own shit.

      Actually it’s like the current 52% of people support this. However, the other 48% can’t stand these idiots. Hence the protests.
