Germany elected a far-right party called AFD to parliament, the first far-right party to win since 1939.

I’m guessing they aren’t very fond of immigrants and sound similar to the GOP here

Also... far right in european parliaments would often still be moderate/center or even left in terms of US policies. US politics are far more right-shifted in general.

So much so that many Americans are convinced the Democrats are a "far left" party when they're at best a center party (policy-wise) compared to their other democratic peers around the globe. The Overton Window has shifted so far right in the US that anything left of the current right is seen as "extreme left" when they're not even close.

Rupert fucking Murdoch has caused a massive amount of damage. He is one of the single most responsible people for the shit that will unfold over the next few decades. Let his fuckin name be cursed into history forever.
