I think it's that it's intentionally gratuitous, to declare that we're not doing insidious systemic racism any more, but rather proud, arrogant, aggressive racism. And it's meant as a personal insult to every decent person in this country.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

It's an actual game plan on the right. They use it for book bans as well. They start with something easy: no porn in libraries. That hooks in the low information folks. Then you slowly broaden the scope until you're yanking any YA that violates Christian nationalism.

Wieder ein tolles und inspirierendes Interview mit Anne #Brorhilker von @finanzwende.de . Auffallend, dass sie nun schon in fast jeder Zeitung und vielen Interviewformaten zu Gast war, aber - wie erwartbar - in keiner der großen politischen Talkshows.
So kämpft sie gegen Wirtschaftskriminalität | Anne Brorhilker | Ex-Staatsanwältin
Anne Brorhilker hat als Oberstaatsanwältin in der Cum/Ex-Steueraffäre gerissene und kaltschnäuzige Wirtschaftskriminelle verfolgt. Fast wäre der größte Steuerraub in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland von der Öffentlichkeit unbemerkt geblieben. Die Finanzlobby hatte über Jahrzehnte alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, um ihre illegalen Aktivitäten zu verschleiern und zu verharmlosen. Anne Brorhilker ermittelte gegen Cum/Ex-Täter und konnte zahlreiche rechtskräftige Urteile erstreiten. Im April 2024 bat sie um Entlassung aus dem Staatsdienst und leitet heute den Bereich Finanzkriminalität bei der Bürgerbewegung Finanzwende e.V., deren Vorständin sie ist. Von ihrer Zeit als ermittelnde Oberstaatsanwältin und warum sie beschlossen hat, ihre Arbeit an anderer Stelle fortzusetzen, davon berichtet Anne Brorhilker in SWR1 Leute.

Exakt. Die AfD hatte bei der BTW 20%, jetzt liegt sind in Umfragen bei 24-27%. Es deutet nichts, aber auch gar nichts auf einen Kurswechsel der Regierung hin. Im Gegenteil, die Junge Gruppe wird nun umso mehr einfordern bei Migration und Rente. Wasser auf die Mühlen der AfD. Es wird nur schlimmer.
