So basically the CDU are the German equivalent to log cabin Republicans? Explains a lot.
Well, in terms of hypocrisy maybe. In terms of policy, they are more similar to moderate Democrats.
They are just a few years behind. Soon they will cooperate with the far-right AfD to cling to power, then get chewed up and shit out again. Just like MAGA took over the Republican party with former Republicans all kissing Trumps ass, all the corrupt CDU goons will happily embrace fascism when it keeps them in power to keep fucking over the population for their billionair masters.
I don’t think it’s that black-and-white. Multi-party systems have a different dynamic than two-party systems. For one, multi-party systems favour moderates, while two-party systems lead to greater polarization. It just so happens that racism and fascism are very popular and mainstream nowadays. In the other European multi-party systems where fascists entered government, it didn’t lead to a complete takeover as did happen in the Republican Party.
To praphrase what somebody said on a German post about this:
He’s been known to be corrupt for years yet always welcome in the CDU, but this is where they draw the line? What a bunch of clowns.
Add to that that he himself spoke against surrogate motherhood and supported the CDU’s outspoken stance against it.
