Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The question isn’t quite as funny as you think. I am German and didn’t actually expect the USA and their „president“ to be an actual meme.
Like… this stuff is an actual joke. But it’s your own fault in America.
Yeah, it’s a serious issue. Our normal parties need to address urgent issues in order to get the protest voters back from the AfD. I’m convinced that 20% of our population are not nazis. They’re just stupid and angry because they don’t feel heard.
Sure there are Nazis. But it’s not 20%. I hope.
My dude, that was the genesis of the first Nazi party. Nazis weren't monsters that crawled out of some portal to Hell, they were people.
You’re missing my point or maybe I didn’t make my point very clear. I personally know people who voted the AfD. They are not nazis. Are they dumb in this regard? Yes. But they don’t hate minorities. They hate the lethargic SPD, CDU, etc.
No party has a serious plan to tackle the immigration issue. And it is an issue. There’s no denying this. The AfD is the only party that openly complains about the immigration. Unfortunately their plans are horrible. So we need the normal parties to do normal things to tackle immigration normally, not like Hitler.
That’s where they are stupid. They vote for the AfD because it’s the only vocal party about it. They fail to see that the AfD would just lock the immigrants up or round them up at the border. They’re ignorant and stupid. But they aren’t nazis.
Again. Some certainly are. All I’m saying is that not ALL of their voters are nazis. They’re angry and misguided.
All I was saying is that "Nazi" does not exclusively mean "vicious racist". Sometimes it means "gullible people looking for someone to blame for their current problems".
In that sense I agree. Some people are so stupid that they would probably just flip if someone says minorities suck.
