It usually means that moderates become more like authoritarians unfortunately. This particular brand will leave but their politics won’t.

It won't because the liberal parties are fucking useless everywhere. Look at Macron and Starmer as the main examples. Meanwhile the German government wants to keep shoveling money into the Palestinian genocide.

It’s not just Germany. The whole word is going to shit lately.

Things are getting worse and people are offering easy solutions, blame X minority for your problems. The rich and powerful who are to blame support these scapegoats while they bolster their authority and control.

Probably the same thing that’s wrong with the us a third here support trump

A third has ^^ To be fair those voters were never really using their brain much. Populists in the whole EU are taking advantage of those dumb fucks for a while now.

EDIT: There is something funny going on though, populist right-wing leaders have difficulties in finding a position regarding Trump and the US. On one hand they really love licking Trumps boots, on the other hand their voters want "Germany first" and they are aware that Trump's actions are directly hurting them.
