> fascist fringe party

I suppose you're referring to AfD, which is not fringe, its the second largest party in opinion polls.

CDU and FDP are also pro-nuclear : https://m.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/kein-totes-pferd-fd...

BSW is now larger than Die Linke and one of their major policy proposals is about reconciling with Russia to get cheap gas. I think people very much worry about the cost of living.

Just like the old news around the shutdown of the last nuclear reactor: those are pools. They catch the current hype or news cycle. They do not represent what people will actually vote for. AfD and FDP learned that lesson already. When will you? I mean, I've just shown you that CDU had 16 years to show that they are "pro-nuclear" with an actual physicist as their leader. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Because nobody seriously wants it. Neither FDP nor CDU. It was good for the news cycle at that time.

Luckily, the AfD with a beard is just as irrelevant as the AfD itself, and this country is not being ruled from the rural areas of the former DDR. So yeah, we don't give a damn and will keep on doing so even if Sarah starts carrying buckets of gas over the border with their tankie followers to sell them to the conspiracy loving Ossis...Don't take me wrong. I love that that party exist. It'll spread the dumbest part of the German population in half making them less relevant which is good for the health of this country.
