    He informed the Nazis that he will collaborate.

    This message will continue to be broadcast in various ways until cooperation in government is established.

    Any vote for black in Germany is now a vote for Nazis in five or ten years. Talk to your older friends and family, make sure theye understand what is going on and maybe even cut contact if they don’t change their voting habits.

    Being lead into a position of leadership by the conservatives is also how it happened the last time.

      *How it happened in literally every country with a fascist government, ever (unless they were militarily occupied by another fascist country).

      Examples?

      • Italy 1922

        As Prime Minister, the first years of Mussolini’s rule were characterized by a right-wing coalition government composed of Fascists, nationalists, liberals, and two Catholic clerics from the People’s Party.

      • Romania 1937

        However, the [conservative National Peasants’ Party] signed a temporary cooperation agreement with the fascist Iron Guard ahead of national elections in 1937, sparking much controversy among its own voters.

      • Yugoslavia 1925

        Nonetheless, shortly after the election, there were negotiations between Radić and King Alexander’s envoys. The talks ended in Radić renouncing republicanism and accepting the monarchy in return for his release and participation in a coalition government led by the People’s Radical Party (NRS).

      • Spain 1936

        The FET y de las JONS began as the Spanish Falange, a Falangist party, The Council of National Syndicalist Offensives, a national syndicalist party and Traditionalist Communion, a Catholic monarchist party, three parties that were becoming relevant in Spanish right wing politics before the civil war.

      • Portugal 1926

        Historians have considered that the coup had wide support, including all political parties at the time except for the Democratic Party, Portuguese Communist Party, the Portuguese Socialist Party, the Seara Nova group, General Confederation of Labour, and the Democratic Leftwing Republican Party (i.e. every party except leftists)

      • Greece 1935

        For the 1935 election, Metaxas’ party joined other monarchist parties in an electoral coalition known as the United Royalists that called for the restoration of the monarchy. The Freethinkers’ Party won only seven seats in the election. Nevertheless, a monarchist government was formed in Greece in 1935, resulting in the restoration of King George II of Greece as head of state.

      • Austria 1934

        In the process of establishing the so-called Austro-fascist dictatorship, Christian Social Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß founded the Patriotic Front (Vaterländische Front) on 20 May 1933, merging the CS with the Landbund, Heimwehr and other conservative groups.

        Seems like the saying “history repeats itself” is becoming truer each day? How will Germany and the EU look in 2033? I’m afraid to think about it.

          Those are just some select examples. There’ve been a lot more instances of such things happening.

    This is a very dangerous development, albeit not a surprising statement from Merz. It is more important than ever not to vote for these nazi enablers.
