"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes"
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the first far-right party to win a state election in Germany since the Second World War, giving it unprecedented power, even if other parties are sure to exclude it.
Voters in two closely watched elections in the former communist east made their dissatisfaction with Germany's mainstream political parties clear, putting the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in the top spot in Thuringia, with 32.8% of the vote, and second place in Saxony, with 30.7%, according to final results.
The leader of the AfD in Thuringia, Hoecke is one of Germany's most controversial far-right politicians and was fined twice this year for deliberately using a banned Nazi slogan.
The upcoming government formations will probably take a long time, and the outcome is completely uncertain.
Edit:
While I understand the source for data displayed is important, it’s a bit random in this case, but here:
- Invasion of Poland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland
- Election results in Thüringen Germany showing the AfD as the winner: https://www.bundeswahlleiterin.de/en/europawahlen/2024/ergebnisse/bund-99/land-16.html
- The calculation between the two dates has to be done by yourself. ;)

I think that’s a bit random in this case, but I did my best…
The main message is AfD is winning, which has been at least all over the news in Germany and I guess also in international media. And then comparing two dates, and the date of the invasion of Poland (and the start of WWII) should be well known in Europe?
But I did my best to fulfill your request.
@genfood@feddit.org This post seemed like you copied a social-media post — you could have just linked there. Also, thanks for your updates!
(Fwiw, I never questioned whether this graphic is accurate.)
There wasn’t a link to a source either. And I doesn’t like to link to a META platform.
I think it is okay the way it is.
I realize FB/Instagram are bad & they encourage creators to put links in the bio, which is bullshit. However, copying from FB/Instagram without attribution to the original channel still seems like the worse option.
