  1. No one likes school vouchers — even conservative voters.

  4. The AFD, a right-wing party in Germany, gained enormous popularity after the state elections yesterday. What do we learn from this? That, at the end of the day, we seem to have learned nothing in Germany.

    By the way, this is not only disastrous for everyone with a migration background, but clearly also for LGBT+ people.

    Whoever has "helped", whether actively or inactively. The AFD will not be able to keep the "grandiose" election program. They'll focus mainly on one point. Which one I will not illuminate further.

    Things are going downhill, although fortunately they don't have enough power yet.
