Germany Has Its Own Distinguishing Charactistics

While Germany has a far-right party, the AfD, Alternative für Deutschland, which received 10.4% of the vote in 2021, there really is no equivalent to the low-brow MAGA movement in the United States.

Perhaps that’s because the average German is far better educated than most modern-day Americans, or because Germany underwent one of the world’s most humanitarianism catastrophes in the 1930s/40s, and the remembrance of it continues to affect its national ethos.

In any case, as shown at left, the vast majority of the German people understand that environmentalism is the only thing that can possibly save our home planet from ruin.   There is something to be said for that.
