Two perspectives: Banning an extremist party like Germany’s AfD could make the far-right faction a martyr. Or it could be the proactive defense required to protect democracy from those who abuse it.
I think that America kept saying “Oh he doesn’t mean it” when Trump said he was going to be a dictator on day one. Democracy needs to be defended by all means necessary. I have been following this and if America could or would have listened they would see that they got exactly what they voted for. I wish we could have stomped out MAGA but the media whores went with the money not the truth. The Afd is not hiding their intentions but the people don’t really believe that they could do that. People glom onto what they believe but don’t figure out that their freedom is the price. I think they should definitely ban them because they are not going to play fair if in power.
The Orange Cheeto’s Blatant Plan for Election Subversion
Yesterday Cheeto unabashedly claimed that the Nazi party was gerrymandering in Texas so the Nazis would pick up 5 Texas legislative seats in the upcoming 2026 midterms(https://bit.ly/4kJXnyG) The mid decade redraw is pin ootentially illegal but being forced by Cheeto’s DOJ in order to target areas which have sizeable Latino and Black populations
The obvious mockery of the Voting Rights Act is beginning to show Nazi attempts to secure some election wins Cheeto sees the rope tightening around his neck with the Epstein file fiasco….word has it that they will release the client files in the next couple of weeks….and his highly unpopular ICE detention of immigrants in concentration camps Not to mention the loss of health care for 17m Americans and loss of food benefits for another 10m
But get ready folks This is just the beginning of how Cheeto and his Nazi sycophants are going to try to rig the 2026 midterms
If there's one thing that could take down the AfD, it's most likely its cosiness with Putin's Russia and the associated espionage risks. It'd be like nabbing Al Capone on tax evasion.
There should be an extraordinarily high bar that a government must clear to ban a political party. Disagreeing with a policy, even one that is widely supported, doesn't come close to meeting that threshold.
I'm a strong believer in the idea that nobody's speech is too wrong to be heard. Things that are banned gain strength from going underground.
There is no legal basis to ban AFD. Make good policy and extreme right party will massiv decrease like in Denmark.
There is no legal basis to ban AFD in Germany. Make good policy as you can see in Denmark.
Great to read such an open and informed debate for free here!
