Is there a voting fraud issue or what? How the fuck does this happen with what's going on in Germany?

Fun Fact at the side: The AfD got 88 seats in the German Bundestag/Parliament. Not sure if coincidence or meme magic.

Germans are to conservative and obedient to overthrow a ruler. Germans are the Chinese of europe. Just a pack of obedient rule following little bitches.

I think you vastly underestimate the numbers. The AfD becoming the third-strongest party when it only exists since 2013 and has German MSM constanty decrying it at every available opportunity is huge. Especially given that said third-strongest party traditionally enjoys certain privileges in the German Bundestag.

In the US its mostly a winner take all system. Also all our politicians on both sides are coopted by business interests above all else.
I acknowledge things might be different in parlamentary europe but it doesnt change the fact that a majority of germans are still marching in lock step with their ruler like they usually do.

You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think the EU Establishment will allow this to happen.
