Totally agree. To me, it was so obvious that no one was more responsible for Trump's election than the ridiculous policies and hypocrisy of the left.

I think this is an excellent piece. Straight forward and common sense and fair minded. Precisely the point. Well done.

"To be sure, German vigilance against the far right is fully justified..."

You already lost the argument. Lesson: don't cede ideological ground...EVER! Your adversaries will only use it to further isolate then destroy you and yours.

Excellent commentary. I deplore that anything left - no matter how extreme is so-called “progressive”

The progressive left will stop at nothing. The conservative movements tend to work within the laws and do not resort to illegal surreptitious and violent process unlike progressives.

The Leftist Church has no values, no principles.

That’s why they attack conservatives.

> The Leftist Church has no values

Whatever else you say about wokism, it is clearly a value system, even if it's values are those that some (including me) dislike.

> Because of Germany's past, the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the easiest target for vilification. It's called neo-Nazi.

The problem with AfD is not that they are against immigration or against wokism. It is that they are too close to Russia, which means they are traitors against Germany and against European civilisation.

Thus, people on the left who're against AfD because they're against immigration are wrong. And people on the right who're for AfD are also wrong.
