Results of National Elections in 🇩🇪

From my experience speaking to fellow Germans over the last months and years, it looks like an accurate reflection of the current sentiment.

The AfD 'Alternative for Germany', favored by the Trump administration, with huge gains. The traditional CDU (Christian Democrats) still ahead. SPD (Social Democrats) with huge losses. However, short-term no significant changes in political direction can be expected from the new government. A ruling coalition of CDU and SPD is likely.

Noteworthy to me:

- Despite being part of the previous very unpopular governing period, the Green party appears to have a strong base constituency.

- East Germans have a way to tell out fake.

- In a time where Liberalism actually has ground to flourish, the FDP (German Liberal party) took a big hit and won't even be in the parliament for the next cycle.
