Aug. 29, 2020: Far-right protesters attempt to storm the German Parliament

Hundreds of far-right activists waving the black, white and red flag of the pre-1918 German Empire broke through a police barrier and tried to force their way into the German Parliament building during a protest against Germany’s pandemic response.

It took only a few tense minutes before the police, soon aided by reinforcements, managed to push them back. But the events were an alarming escalation of pandemic protests that have grown steadily bigger and — on the fringes at least — angrier. The AfD has tried to exploit the pandemic in the same way it used the refugee crisis in 2015.

One wonders if Trump and/or his far right followers got any ideas from this horrible event.

1. Some trumpers, including trump, allegedly have studied hitler, and

related far right efforts.

2. "It took only a few tense minutes before the police, soon aided by reinforcements" pushed them back.

Which is what SHOULD have happened here on Jan. 6. Only the 'stormers' here had the full support of the presidency.

4. The far rightists in Germany could only muster a crowd of "hundreds"

Plus the leaders of the Bundesrepublik hadn't been playing footsie with neofascists like the Trump Admin was. And their capital guards were able to call for back up.

So, yeah, a few different variables at play.

3. I think both baskets of deplorables feed each other. I believe there is direct linkage.
