That worked out nowhere.

The good thing is that they haven't gained a position of power, just some well paid jobs and the possibility to scream loudly in the next years, which is bad enough as it is. But at least now they can be made responsible for what they say. There will be a much higher level of public scrutiny. I expect nothing but fundamental opposition and really crazy ideas from them and I hope this will show to the protest voters (not the hard right core supporters though) that they aren't a viable solution either.

Unfortunately the media is still paying them much more attention than they deserve by right of their voters share. The much more moderate left party ("Die Linke") for example got almost as many votes and nobody, just nobody talks about their ideas. This is actually very bad. It may mean that the left might try to copy the extremism of the right in order to counter it. It's not what I would like to see. The media has to change and has to learn to ignore the cheap provocations from the extremes.

For the foreseeable future I think Germany is safe from any extremist party gaining a position of power. Of course nobody knows how it will develop. I guess political extremism will be one of the big topics of the next decade in many countries.

the idea behind a protest vote is not the expectation that the AfD will provide viable solutions. It is mainly intended as a message of dissatisfaction towards the government parties.
The main thing to watch in the next years is not what crazy things the AfD will do in the parliament, but whether the government will heed the wake-up call. The government needs to wake up from their political slumber where they simply try to maintain the status quo under the slogan #ThingsArePrettyGood instead of addressing the problems we have (and had for quite some time).
As things stand I think there is still a chance that the established parties can regain those protest voters from the AfD which would bring the AfD close to irrelevance again.
Besides, there is also a chance that the AfD will just go into self-destruction mode.
Judging from their performance in the state parliaments which range from disastrous to hilarious, I'd say the chance isn't even that small :p

I have family in Germany and my grandmother who lives near me is 100% pure Aryan German.

Why do you say such things?

Very eloquent but do you think what you've posted represents the government or the people?
People having their voting rights taken away for trivial reasons,people being sent to jail because some prosecutor has taken a personal dislike to their comments while newspapers act as though they are above the law.

All parties can claim that, so why limit it to those ones, some would even disagree with my reply.

Because he is a hate filled idiot and an AdP supporter?


Looks a though the reunification of Germany is having negative consequences since from all I have read what used to be East Germany is the main area of AdP support. Guess they are longing for the good old days of Authoirtarian government.......
Protest votes are really stupid if they put kooks in public office.

This is retarded and pissed me off, and seeing as the election is over, I'm gonna bite.

Suppose you meet a girl who says she's dating Cloud from Final Fantasy VII. Not a cosplayer, not a voice actor, not a sex doll, just the actual Cloud from Final Fantasy VII. Well, not quite as he is in the game (for one, he dumped Aeris -- serves her right, the bitch -- and is now deeply in love with the girl telling this.) They went to the movies the other day, and he bought her drinks afterward. They're getting married next summer. No, you can't meet him, he's shy. Wedding gifts are welcome, though.

Now, a question: are you going to think
(A) "wtf is this bullshit, is she really nuts or pretending?", or
(B) "hmm, I can't tell if this is true or not, it just might be!"

if B, I have no further questions for you, Mr Sephiroth, and good day.
if A, what sort of hypocritical little shit are you to extend a vastly greater benefit of doubt to other fictional characters?

edit: it's been pointed out to me that one character is not, er, fetched far enough. A better sounding board for religious idiocy would be e.g. the Bayformers mythos, for obvious reasons (clear scientific evidence in the past, meddling in events throughout history, deniability in the observable present, sekrit friends helping out small people with small problems, shitty drama and plot holes oh so many plot holes).
So, do you think there's a tangible chance the events in Bayformer movies happened for realz? And do you look down on the people who say they most definitely did not happen?

nvm, not worth it

It is very funny or sad that the thread drama started AFTER the elections were finished & results released.

YOU are a hate filled idiot and a sick little hypocrite, probably a violent antifa thug. From USA, no doubt you hate Trump and burn the American flag, then you pretend to be tolerant and accuse me of hate. To spill hate is all you do here and no one is more hate filled than left hypocrites like you. You are little low-life scum. If you want to make the world better and get rid of hate, begin with yourself, I suggest by hanging.

Am I the only one he thinks he sounded like the French Taunter from "Holy Grail" just now?

You have a new picture, but I remember you. You are the one who is online 24/7 and comments everything. Your parents allow you too much. It was the same with me when I was 7, but then I grew up.

Nope, getting the same vibe. If only embedded gifs worked on gog forums(do they work on gog forums)?

Ah, another Hillary voter.

Ok, enough time wasted with confused little people. I don't check anymore, bye.

Yep, I'm sure of it, it's him.

Only he was much more creative with his insults.
