This week’s installment the us to Germany, where the intelligence services are declaring the AfD party to be a bunch of extremists.

This enables the government to spy on them, place informants, probe their finances,

Governments are under no obligation to shelter political parties bent on the destruction of the democratic underpinnings of the country.

Of course, this is the weakness of many democracies. In the name of “democracy” they often give legitimacy to authoritarian parties that will dismantle democracy if they are elected.

It happened in Putin’s Russia, in Orban’s Hungary, and following the same playbook, it is happening here in Trump’s America

Germany is protecting itself. Good for Germany.
