Summary

Thousands of Germans protested the CDU/CSU party for collaborating with the far-right AfD to pass anti-immigration legislation.

The move, seen as a breach of a post-war taboo against extremist parties, sparked outrage and accusations of making AfD extremism socially acceptable.

The CDU/CSU argues the legislation is necessary due to concerns about immigration and recent attacks by individuals who should have been deported.

    I picked a continent. They weren’t cowed by munitions. They knew potential consequences. They also knew the consequences of milquetoast protests.

      All true of American protests. In Atlanta they’ve even been labeling protesters as domestic terrorists. That comes with huge consequences and they still go out there.
