We had 84ish% participation US had 64%ish(?)
Additionally we had 29% for conservatives, which would be the people in the US voting rep eventhough they would not admit to directly supporting Trump.
The gap is smaller than it seems, though plurality in the political system (multiple parties, not winner takes it all) relaxes the situation quite a bit.
Protesting Israel in Germany is legally antisemitic even if you are Jewish. Many German Jews have been protesting Israels genocide and were arrested for antisemitism.
It was 1 out of 5 people who voted, so 1 out of 2 in the US. I’m sorry, but just that’s just the way things are. Voting turnout matters, but it’s not like the people that didn’t vote would’ve all voted democrat.
That’s fair, I don’t accept its a 50% split, no way. Nit only were there a lot that didn’t turn out. There were a lot who were disenfranchised and couldn’t vote at all.
1 in 5 people voted for the current nazi party in Germany a couple of weeks ago so… meh
What I wouldn’t give for if only 1 in 5 voted for the nazi party in America.
Better than 1 in 2

The remaining parties are arresting Jews for antisemitism so its worse than that.
?
They are arresting Jews for being against Jews?
Do you mean arresting German Jewish religious folks for being against Israeli Jewish religious folks?
I think the Jewish part cancels eachother out, so it’s just German folks being against Israeli folks.

Because laws can’t discriminate. The laws designed to protect them are harming them. Ironic.
Everyone else in Europe can be as anti Israel as we like. Why? We didn’t holocaust 6 million Jews.
The issue is equating antizionism antisemetism.
Yes, that’s the issue.
Better than our 1 out of 3 here in the US.

If we had a two party system in Germany we’d be just as fucked as the US rn but people here aren’t ready to hear it.
