      The full weight of the German government should be used to stamp out foreign election interference if there’s any sign of it.

    2. Well, the funding will be for those seeking to “address national sovereignty“ (among others).

      Let the German Government apply for this funding, and use it to avert the scheme to preserve national sovereignty.

    3. No interference needed, the current government is already involved in multiple MAGA foundations.

      US keeps dicking around and I am telling ya….they won’t like it when the Germans rearm themselves.

      Trump next week: “Germans want to be the 51st state. They all told me so with tears in their eyes!”

      trump’s State Department is actively working with AfD. Meanwhile, X and Meta promote right-wing propaganda on their outlets. If Germany wants to fight this, block X and regulate Meta. And call out Rubio and his Russia-affiliated underling Darren Beattie.

      And a warning for other EU countries: This same cabal is actively working in your country to overturn democracy and promote right-wing, Russia-allied, politicians.

      Iran: *charges ~~tolls~~ protection money for ships to travel thru Straight of Hormuz without being attacked*

      Trump: „Hey, that’s a great idea! Let’s do that too!“

      China: *uses a technologically-advanced police state to spy on and surveil its own citizens*

      Trump: „Flock and Palantir are great companies! Every patriotic MAGA should support this!“

      Too many authoritarian regimes to count: *uses feared police force to „disappear“ disfavored segments of society*

      Trump: „If you’re a foreigner and not white, ICE is comin‘ for ya! Oh and sometimes the occasional American too.“

      Russia: *interferes in US elections*

      Trump: „Hey, that’s a great idea! Let’s do that too!“

      Trump: Using only the bigliest ideas from the world’s most bigliest terrible governments.

      So typical of fascists.

      You know because Nazi Germany tried that shit on America.too, in the 1930s and 1940s: extensive covert operations to shape election outcomes, funding and coordination with American isolationist groups to promote non-interventionist politicians, etc.

      Also, just like what Russia, Iran, and China are trying to do in the West, today.

    9. Germany better invest in strengthening its counter intelligence or it might see some very unfortunate election results come to pass

    10. Jetztinberlin on

      They’ve been openly supporting AfD, rewriting Twitter algos to platform them, etc etc for over a year now. Not exactly a surprise. 

    11. Alternative-Suit5541 on

      They will do it anyway and it will have zero consequences, mark my word lol

    12. PTS_Dreaming on

      The United States has joined countries like Russia in pushing illiberalism.

      The United States is now a malignant nation and the world should isolate us like we used to isolate Russia.

    13. People in AFD are now Mrs. Crabs when he sees money… funded by both Putin and Trump. Bank accounts about to go stonks.

    14. The White House: „Only American citizens should decide American elections.“

      America: Interferes with elections in Canada, Germany, Poland, Honduras, Argentina…

    15. Maybe UK and EU should propose if the USA government or groups based there fund political groups in the EU and UK we will start funding groups in the USA that benefit us to the same value as spent here!

    16. MarvelousVanGlorious on

      MAGA can’t even do this right. We’ve been meddling in elections for decades.

    17. Several-Opposite-746 on

      Meanwhile, Hoestra is still shocked and aghast that a province in Canada meddled in a foreign election by taking out an ad that quoted Ronald Reagan word for word.

      Rules for thee and something something.

    18. Personally, I’m a fan of this administration interfering in democratic elections of western countries. Trump is such toxic poison that all the candidates he’s been actively backing overseas take a hit in the polls. Canada’s Labour party was incredibly unpopular after Trudeau and should have been easily beaten by the populist right wing candidate….. until the Trump admin decided to get involved. Orban was backed by Trump admin and suffered a loss.

      I think if German voters, and other EU voters, see what glory the Trump like candidates bring to a country it really helps them clear their senses…. at least temporarily.

      If this news does not „trump“ the blathering old man going on TV tonight to lie about election fraud… there should be mass protests. Electio interference with a NATO allie..? Really?

    20. not_the_droids on

      It’s our own fault (or rather the government’s) that the AfD is still around.

      The party violates our constitution and should be forbidden. I don’t give a shit about democracy in this case, we’ve tried Nazis before and 10s of millions of innocent people died.

    21. PensiveinNJ on

      Far right figures like Steve Bannon and others have been working to destabalize democracies using technology for a decade now.

      There is a whole global political movement that have been pushing „MAGA causes“ for most of my adult life.

      These are people who’ve been closely aligned with people like Trump since the beginning. They’ve been doing it quite effectively in service of politicians and technocrats in a more covert way but it was still happening even if it wasn’t publicly declared.

    22. TurbulentRadish8113 on

      The Russia-Republican alliance against democracy is incredibly dangerous.

    23. Professional_Gene_63 on

      It will always just be a warning, it’s not that something happens with it. Cannot act on AFD, not relevant enough. Cannot act on AFD, too big now.

      So first the US fell to Russian backed assets, now they’re trying to spread it to Europe… you know, this sounds like that domino theory the US was so scared of. Ironic they were the first to fall…

    25. Electrical-Bee-7362 on

      American conservatives are a cancerous tumor that I hope doesn’t spread also in Europe 

    26. LawfulOrange on

      Is this not exactly what Trump is going to whine about China doing tonight? The hypocrisy abounds.

    27. ganjakhan85 on

      Oh goodie. Still no money for healthcare, but we can give millions of taxpayer money to influence foreign elections.

    28. Just arrest whoever Trump sends there and hold them forever. Trump thinks he is untouchable, prove he and his goons wrong.

    29. JoyousCacophony on

      We already know that the US (via Musk) is trying to pump up the AfD and couchfucker has been working for the same from a different angle

    30. Yeah you don’t need interference in this one right now

      The current parties are already doing their part that we are going to be giga-fucked in the upcoming years

      The shift to the right wing party is insane and it’s not going to stop as long as fucking morons like Scholz and Merz lead the country and the 2 (so far) biggest parties try to block each other while the german population is the one that has to suffer under all of it
