"Unfortunately" for sure for the far-right DfW. Their new foothold in government in gave me a nasty clutch all the way over here in Georgia. Dangerous populist movements, growing antisemitism, and authoritarian threats to democracies are a natural toxic brew.

I was heartened recently to hear Christiane Amanpour say that, from her observations on the ground, the danger to Europe's democracies may be diminishing. Apparently somewhat similar to the light shown on increased support of our own by the midterm elections. I'd sure like to hear more about that when watching video of angry populists on the streets, though.
