On the Constant, Unrelenting and Unhinged Anti-Trump Propaganda of the German Media.

Pollsters periodically ask Germans which American presidential candidate they would support, were they in a position to vote. Last July, 79% said they would vote for Kamala Harris; only 13% would vote for Donald Trump. The numbers are typical: Barack Obama claimed 71% support in a similar poll from 2008 and Hillary Clinton enjoyed 82% support in 2016. Right now, Green voters split 99% for Harris, Social Democrat voters 92%, nominally centre-right CDU/CSU voters 89%, market-liberal FDP voters 85%, and voters for the old-school leftist Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht party 52%. Across the entire German political landscape, only Alternative für Deutschland voters would support Trump by a thin majority of 51%. Even here, one-in-four are undecided, and the remaining one-in-four would vote for Harris.

You might be tempted to argue that differing national interests explain this, but I don’t think that argument works. It’s far from obvious that a Harris administration would further the interests of the German people. The war in Ukraine and the associated bombing of Nord Stream, for example, were both enthusiastically supported by Joe Biden specifically, and they proved catastrophic for the Federal Republic. What is really going on here is much subtler: Many Germans know English, but consuming foreign-language material is a pain and relatively few have any direct contact with Trump’s debates, his speeches or sympathetic English-language reporting. We learn about American presidential campaigns primarily through our media, and Germany has a vast state-adjacent media industrial complex in much the same way that the United States has a vast state-adjacent military industrial complex.

A few days ago, some important Twitter personalities noticed that Germans vastly overestimate Kamala Harris’s chances of winning the U.S.

^ And: The German media industrial complex is truly fanatical when it comes to hating Trump. We are basically conducting a real-world experiment to determine how much media manipulation can achieve when deployed en masse against a low-information, credulous population. My American readers will say that their own media is heavily biased, but German media is vastly, vastly more extreme.

Have always assumed Ramstein was much more than a US Military Base in my Mother's Land .

Germans have been toxic spreaders of disinformation for decades. I guess they never got over that. Wake up, you bunch of fucking Dummkopfs, and repeat "We are not the master race" 20 times. MAGA

They are anti-free speech. And, are dead set against reciprocal tariff's. All these other countries protect their own industries by applying Tariff's, but we shouldn't?

It’s not that. They are mischlings now. And sooo woke.

So, they're shallow, overly impressionable people who fall for fads and gags far too easy, just like our wokesters?

Germany just doesn't want to have to have to pay their fair share of costs to Ukraine, they already renegged and they know if Trump doesn't push for a successful peace deal Germany will have to help out far more than they have been. Germany always undermines threats, be they China, Russia, Iran while overpromoting China-driven issues such as climate change. Even the small tariff on EVs from.China is facing backlash from some of their car manufacturers, they simply don't care about global human rights or security threats, they just want to have a soapbox to say they do.

Could be. It seems like a worldwide malady.

Wonder why.

It wasn`t wokesters who claimed that Israeli space lasers were starting wildfires. It was one of the GOP`s party geniuses who gave us that one. Thanks Marge.
