Bringing AfD into the government is another option Tom Send a noteboard - 22/11/2017 06:57:37 PM

However, the simple fact is that the AfD remains a single-issue party, regardless of what anyone says to the contrary. They're not a reincarnation of the Nazi Party, they aren't a developed party with a program that draws people for its coherence. They just want the illegals out - now. I have no means of proving it conclusively, but everything I've seen and heard from actual Germans and polls of actual Germans conducted by others leads me to believe that the overwhelming majority of CDU-CSU voters are with the AfD on immigration to one degree or another (not everyone wants to use them as alternative fuel sources to light town streets at night, but they want them gone).

New elections in which the CDU-CSU coalition jettisons Merkel and adopts a much tougher position on immigration, accelerating forced deportations, cutting benefits, extending a ban on bringing family members for 10 years, demanding integration in a linguistic and cultural sense, zero tolerance on people who try to impose barbaric ideas on Germans or fellow "migrants", etc., would completely destroy the AfD as a party and lead to most of those voters returning to the CDU-CSU. It would also allow a CDU-CSU/FDP/AfD coalition because getting rid of Merkel makes that possible.

Alternatively, jettisoning Merkel and letting Seehofer form the CDU-CSU/FDP/AfD coalition now would avoid new elections. The hubris and arrogance of one fat, sad old woman who should be running a dairy in Saxony rather than a country, is derailing everything else that Germany could accomplish, all because she can't admit to a mistake of colossal and potentially nation-destroying import.

And that, honestly, is the first time I think we can legitimately compare her to Hitler.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
