Recently, over a million Germans protested against the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), highlighting concerns about its radicalism. In contrast, figures from the Trump administration, including Elon Musk and Vice President J. D. Vance, have expressed support for the AfD. Musk urged Germans to embrace their history and culture at an AfD event, while Vance suggested the party should be incorporated into Germany's governance. This situation underscores a troubling international trend where U.S. officials are endorsing far-right ideologies abroad, challenging democratic norms.
Upwards of 1 million people flooded the streets of Germany to express their opposition to the right-wing political party Alternative für Deutschland, or Alternative for Germany.
Elon Musk appeared via video at a campaign event urging attendees not to be ashamed of German history and expressing pride in German culture and values.
Vice President J. D. Vance gave a speech suggesting that the next German government should consider including the AfD in the governing coalition.
The AfD's stripe of right-wing radicalism is out of place in democratic Germany, as emphasized by the massive protests against the party.
