> Don’t worry, at the current trajectory Germany will have a leader who “makes the trains run on time” in 10-15 years.

This historic comparison is absurd and demagogic. It is rather plausible that Germany will be ruled by some quite right-wing party or coalition with all its negative consequences.


Then, when fusion is finally ready? :-D

Oh, fusion has been ready for this sort of application for over 70 years.

For sure, someone just didnt understand the irony in context of Germany and the timeline of "10-15 years".

I'm in EU so I might have a different picture.

With the still rising numbers for the AfD, Germany has plenty of reasons to worry about fascism without bothering to bring in American politics. Not everything is about Trump.

Why should the Germans be more worried about AfD than the people who have been running the show for the last decades?

After all, they’re not the ones who have implemented disastrous policy one after another.


Because they make it pretty clear that they will be much worse.

padjo was explicitly talking of a leader (Führer).

The trains running on time “joke” is about Il Duce.

But yes, absolutely nothing to do with the US


which is what we got last time a hard-right antidemocratic party took power yes

The last time an antidemocratic (this time not hard-right) party took power in Germany was in the GDR with the SED party.

We got Honecker/Mielke out of that one, I guess.
