The Alternative for Germany (AfD) made a dramatic breakthrough in Sunday’s election, but it was not an outright victory. In the 2021 federal elections, the AfD won 10.4 percent of the vote. It doubled that this year, winning 20.8 percent. It is the strongest party in the former East Germany. The governing Social Democratic Party (SPD) came in third place with its worst result since the end of the Second World War.

Yet, it is doubtful that anything will change. The “center-right” Christian Democratic Union (CDU) won the elections but fell well short of an outright majority. CDU head Friedrich Merz has already ruled out any coalition with the AfD. That means Germany will once again probably get a “grand coalition” with the CDU joining forces with the SPD. Despite the SPD’s historic unpopularity, it will still be in government, while the AfD will not.

The free-market Free Democrats (FDP) and the old-left (and AfD spoiler party) BSW both failed to get five percent of the vote, so will not be in the Bundestag. It is an especially embarrassing result for the FDP, which triggered the election by leaving the previous coalition. The FDP leader has now resigned. Even free market reforms favored by the business community and the “center-right” will probably be impossible if the CDU has to rely on the greens as part of its coalition.

President Donald Trump claimed victory, but he is essentially alone.

Incoming chancellor Friedrich Merz is also pledging to make Europe “independent” of the United States.

Some nationalists say Germany is doomed.

Some anti-Germans on X were gloating that Elon Musk (who had backed the AfD) and others had been defeated.

Yet, the CDU’s victory could be like that of Pyrrhus: “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” Indeed, AfD leader Alice Weidel said that the CDU triumph would be “pyrrhic” because the party will have to ally with the SPD or the Greens. The AfD has a secure home base in the east, winning in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, and Thuringia. It won in two districts in West Germany (Gelsenkirchen and Kreuznach) and did extremely well among young people.

The AfD won a commanding victory among those aged 25–34 (Millennials) and came in a strong second among Generation Z. However, it won just 10 percent of voters over the age of 70.

It did not win the youngest voters. That honor goes to “The Left,” a relatively new political grouping. The sex gap is especially deep among Generation Z, whose members are generally either “far right” or far left. Polarization will increase.

What next? The AfD, assuming it is not torn apart by internal tensions or banned by the “democratic” government, is in a strong position. It has consolidated its hold on the east. It remains the only party in the Bundestag with a truly anti-immigration position. The CDU, tethered to the unpopular SPD, will find it hard to reform anything. Even the CDU’s program of “independence” from the Yankees will be costly if it means supporting a continuing war in Ukraine, which has hurt the German economy.

The key in politics is to become the sole alternative to stopping the bad things that are happening. President Donald Trump was able to do that, and the AfD took an important step towards that goal yesterday. All the other parties are tied to mass immigration, multiculturalism, and business as usual. The AfD is the second-strongest party in the legislature but does not have any of the responsibility of governing. It stands to benefit if German decline continues, and time is on its side as the establishment’s voters slowly die off.

It is true that the system keeps nationalists out of government, but that also means that the more power nationalists get, the more fragile the system becomes. The AfD is not perfect, but it has not trimmed its sails to get more votes. The future seems open for young Germans again. The best years for German nationalism may lie ahead.

  1. Die Linke is not a relatively new political grouping. It is a continuation of the old Communist party of East Germany. Its relatively strong showing in the elections was a surprise.

  2. The German people really had a chance to turn things around but basically handed their country over to Blackrock. Watch the once great German industrial machine, broken up and sold to the highest bidder. In the future, the only things that will be made in Germany will be cuckoo clocks and stuffed toys.

    The AfD will continue to grow until it cannot be excluded from the ruling coalition. Its gains will come primarily from the CDU/CSU. It’s just a matter of time now. May God bless my German brothers and sisters and keep them safe from the plotting and scheming of the entrenched political powers.

    @Diversity Heretic

    When he wrote ‘relatively new’, perhaps he was thinking of BSW.

    Per the current reckoning, Die Linke got 8.8% — if you scroll back through previous elections, in general Die Linke comfortably cleared the 5% hurdle for representation in the Bundestag, usually getting closer to 10% — so its result was not all that surprising.

    It was a surprise that BSW failed to top 5%, since Sahra Wagenknecht is a fairly popular and reasonable political figure — but if she is really interested in change, she should’ve joined the AfD rather than trying to start a new party.

    The heavy decline in support for the FDP, a member of the previous coalition, was also a surprise.

    Given the Brandmauer, the likely result will be a coalition of the CDU, SPD, and Greens — a grotesque absurdity.

    I now understand better why Hitler banned other political parties once the NSDAP assumed power — multiparty coalition politics is untenable — what you usually get today is a ridiculous, mushy compromise that leans distinctly to the left — in this case, with the CDU and AfD, Germans voted for a right of center government — given the necessity of coalition partners for the CDU, and the fact the other parties refuse to collaborate with the AfD (the Brandmauer), they will get a left of center government — ‘muh democracy.’

    I don’t share any optimism about the future of Germany. The left will outlaw the party if it gains any more power. The only way the right can triumph is if it gets a leader capable of expanding its base along with the willingness to fight in the street. There’s historical precedence of this happening in Germany, but no one likes to talk about that.

  6. AfD “it won just 10 percent of voters over the age of 70.” GOOD, these are the future dead.

    They are the boomers who were so brainwashed after the end of WW2 that they’d rather see their own nation destroyed, invaded and ruined than changing their brainwashed minds.

    They are done, grilled, they are the massive covid jab supporters and have likely taken all the doses> Therefore, they won’ be there for most next time.

    Now, the former Blackrock manager Merz has made a mediocre score of only 28%, and that after 4 years of Marxist hell by the Bolshevik/neo-liberal coalition (spd/grun/fdp). It means that either Germans are cowards, not very smart, misinformed, confused and divided or not enough close to the wall yet.

    In a Germany like this, AfD should make scores above 30%, and the fact that the corrupt parties who are in power since 1945 are still in power (28% CDU, 16% SPD, 12% greens) proves that many Germans are beyond redemption.

    Merz, the Blackrock employee has already invited the mass murderer Netanyahu to Germany and promised he won’t be arrested as it should be.

    This is the kind of corrupt chancellor the Germans will get by cowardly keeping voting for the same crooks who ruin their country and have it invaded.

    The good news is that, one century later, the young Germans are voting against the rotten establishment parties, as the 2020’s will come, maybe a new leader of the nation can rise and save Germany from the planned and organized destruction that was started in 19145 by those we know

    Does this election simply affirm that there is no such thing as “Germany”? An electoral map shows the same division of “Germany” that dates back to Roman times, when the East was outside the Empire, and the south and west was fulling integrated with the rest of Europe. The current Germany was only formed with Bismarck’s “unification” in the 19th century, undoubtedly assisted by various other parties, which was achieved by force of arms and has been resented by the rest of Romanized/Christianized Germany ever since.

    When German voters vote against AfD, are they expressing favor for more immigration, or only voting against more Prussian dominance?

    Germany has been saddled with its own “Stockholm Syndrome” ever since the summation of the Second World War.
    There are some brave Germans who have gone against the “official narrative” of WW2 with Germany seen as being on “the wrong side of history” and as such are (still) considered to be “the bad guys”, but they are either too few or afraid of being “outed” as “holocaust™ deniers”, subject to severe punishment, and yes, Nazis (which is unfairly still a pejorative term in Germany and in much of the rest of the civilized world).
    This is especially bolstered by the (in)famous “jewish holocaust™” which was created by the Allies in order to keep Germany permanently demonized.
    Hollywood movie producers were dispatched to the “camps” to “prove” that Germany was guilty of genocide (which was not the case as the victims who were filmed perished from typhus due to infrastructure collapse), not in “death camps”. These Hollywood producers should have been taken to Dresden and other real genocide areas.
    In fact, it was Russian jews who “rebuilt” Auschwitz after the war in its own propagandistic way, creating and amplifying engineering errors that the Germans would have never done.
    From non-sealed “gas chambers” with wooden doors that “swing the wrong way” to no means for inserting and ventilating the poison gases, using a delousing agent as an ineffective “poison gas”, anyone with an engineering background can easily poke holes in all of the claims made by holocaust™ promoters.
    Let’s not forget that jewish “holocaustianity™” has been deemed to be a state religion in many countries from which no deviation of belief is permitted.
    Prosecution, fines and imprisonment await those who seek the truth about this false, contrived event in history.
    Even Canada has criminalized any criticism of this “event”.
    It is only a matter of time before “holocaustianity™” becomes the “official state religion” here in the USA.
    If the “holocaust™” is based on “truth” why not encourage a full impartial investigation into this “event”? What are “holocaust™” promoters afraid of?
    Jews have always been excellent propaganda agents, tugging at heartstrings by always showing jews as being “downtrodden” victims and always being marginalized and victimized. This is a “feature” and not a “bug” as it has been successful in keeping the holocaust™ fable alive to the present day.
    Jewish “holocaust™ museums” (actually jewish freak shows) display piles of shoes, glasses, clothing, and other piles of “who knows what” in order to claim that 6,000,000 jews were “gassed out of existence”.
    These jewish freaks shows get massive amounts of taxpayer-funded dollars despite being totally out of place in American society. Schoolchildren are brainwashed and propagandized in these freak shows, which is actually child abuse to allow children into these jewish freak shows.
    It is long overdue to conduct a full, impartial, honest of all holocaust™ claims and to “let the chips fall where they may” and finally expose it as the fraud that it is.
    This is the only way out of the Stockholm Syndrome for Germany, the USA and the rest of the world.
    The only way for the Germans to “wake up” is to throw off the jewish / American boot heels, get out of NATO and restore their long-deserved honor by getting rid of the foreign influences that still rules German society. German pride was outlawed with the summation of WW2 on terms imposed by the “allies”. It’s been long overdue to “let Germany be Germany”, unfettered by outside forces.
    It would appear that Theodore N. Kaufman’s vile tome “Germany Must Perish” was at least partially used on the German people in order to “neuter” the German citizenry and their country.
    Germany was saddled with jewish holocaust lies about masturbation machines, electric floors, phony gas chambers, delousing agents used as “gas”, shrunken heads, fingers for light switches and jewish “soap”. These fabrications are still taken as “truth” despite such claims being laughable, totally ridiculous and impossible.
    Even the supposed “numbers” (6,000,000) don’t add up. The engineering claimed by holocaust promoters itself was impossible. Every holocaust claim can easily be debunked and shown to be a fabrication.
    That being said, Germany’s subservience is imposed by external forces. It is long overdue for Germany to be restored to its rightful place in the world of nations. Of course, the jews will never go along with it.
    There is one solution: A certain sh!tty little country in the middle east and its upcoming eastern European version 2.0 must be returned to their rightful inhabitants. I don’t care where the jews go…

    The AfD leadership alleged that it is a “libertarian, conservative party.” How can a libertarian conservative party be at the same time, anti-Muslim (a.k.a. immigration), pro-Jew, and pro-Palestinian genocide? Germans in the former East Germany are more like the Russians; they are extremely religious-conservative people. Russia may have nuclear bombs but remains a backward nation. The Russian highest religious authority has more in common with the AfD than with Jesus. Europe is not copying Russia; Russia is (for decades) trying hard to copy *West Europe. Russians see the conman, indicted felon, sexual predator, and bigoted racist Donald Trump as their man in Washington, and so do Germans who voted for the AfD.

    Without seeking to promote the idea that AfD is Nazi Hitler again, one can note that AfD’s voting surge in 2025 exceeded the total votes of the Nazi party in 1930, as per chart below

    As Trump proved in 2024, things can happen fast. In their 1929 anthem written by Horst Wessel, the Nazis sang:

  16. As the German election results reveals, the collapse of Europe is proceeding apace. There is no more time to wait for any possible future correction. It is imperative for Trump to get the US out of Europe and to form a new approach with Russia, then China. The Germans, French, British, and Italians, even the Spanish, Dutch and Greeks, are incapable of acting in their own best interests. Europe is just as chaotic, incoherent, and dangerous as the worst zhithole countries of the third world. Invite the third world, become the third world. The USA may yet succumb to the same insanity, as well.

    And as Islamo-fascism descends upon Germany (and France, Britain, etc.), expect a large number of those who voted for it to come here demanding that we Americans “do something.” The answer should be a firm no, or if the answer is yes, then it must be accompanied by our own demands for what happens afterwards: that no one who voted against the AfD is allowed to have any power ever again.

    Controversial question, but is anyone sure that all registered voters were allowed vote and that every single vote was properly counted?

    Our so-called elites do some very nasty stuff. Rigging an election would be kindergarten stuff for them.

    It’s not important who votes, it’s important who counts the votes.

    One advantage to them of rigging an election is that the fake results can be used to demoralise the opposition.

    From the stats given, the following groups seemingly voted for more immigration: women, youngsters, straight people, old people, west Germans.

    I don’t believe these election results. In particular I don’t believe that young German women voted for more immigration. The very opposite, is my guess.

    I suspect that a minimum of 50% of registered German voters want an end to all new refugees and massive Remigration (millionenfach). The politicians just rigged the election. It’s quite common. The Israelis have companies that you can subcontract your election rigging to.

    There is a simple solution: AfD should call the US Ambassador in Berlin. The Ambassador should call the CDUs Merz, congratulate him on his vote and invite him for a couple of beers to discuss the great Deutschland- USA friendship. The Ambassador can hint to Merz that the US govt would look favourably on the CDU hitching up with AfD and deporting two million a year for the next four years. Perhaps the US might even cut some good deals on trade and oil.

    Merz will not be able to resist. One side effect of WWII is that German politicians are still terrified of the US. Every time they hear a US accent, the folk memory of the bombers kicks in. When the US ambassador makes Merz the offer, he will agree. He can explain that he did it under pressure.

    The problem fundamentally is female enfranchisement. It is the single biggest mistake in history and it has utterly destroyed the West.
    You can recover from an economic depression. You can even recover from a world war. You can’t however recover from women throwing open the gates and refusing to have children. Women always ally with the power structure, and the power structure is currently anti-white, especially anti-white male.
    White women are taught to see themselves as being in competition with men. They don’t want to be your ally. They want to dominate. This is also why they frequently choose non-white, dumb, thugmaxxed partners. They see those men as being easier to control and dominate.

    Was the Battle of Koniggratz 100% voluntary? Was the Kulturkampf 100% voluntary?

    The Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium was the Roman colony in the Rhineland from which the city of Cologne, now in Germany, developed. Cologne progressed from the center of Roman Germany to the center of Catholic Germany. After the Congress of Vienna, the city was handed over to the Prussian state. From Wikipedia:

    The permanent tensions between the Catholic Rhineland and the overwhelmingly Protestant Prussian state repeatedly escalated with Cologne being in the focus of the conflict. In 1837 the archbishop of Cologne, Clemens August von Droste-Vischering, was arrested and imprisoned for two years after a dispute over the legal status of marriages between Catholics and Protestants (Mischehenstreit). In 1874, during the Kulturkampf, Archbishop Paul Melchers was imprisoned before taking asylum in the Netherlands. These conflicts alienated the Catholic population from Berlin and contributed to a deeply felt anti-Prussian resentment, which was still significant after World War II, when the former mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer, became the first West German chancellor.

    Doesn’t seem even 1% voluntary.

    The only way for the Germans to “wake up” is to throw off the jewish / American boot heels, get out of NATO and restore their long-deserved honor by getting rid of the foreign influences that still rules German society.

    Agreed. Unfortunately in order to throw off the Jewish boot on their neck they must first wake up in order to do it. Meanwhile the Jews keep importing worthless Niggers to breed with the stupid leftist German women and thereby create a race of half breed mongrels for them to rule over.

    A million black cocks will destroy Germany more surely than a million bombs. And it’s more quiet too. Unless you count the moans of the brainwashed German women.

    Let us hope that the new Chancellor will ban the AfD and deprives Russia’s Putin of its fascistic support.

    Agree. The rest is theater.

    This is correct. The stats are quite clear. I am not sure why these tropes do the rounds. The women have been conned by feminism and the word on the street is the younger Zoomer girls are taking note. So there is hope.
