Among them was the purported semi-professional, one-time porn actor, self-confessed former cocaine user, convicted thief and hard-right candidate for the German parliament Phillipp-Anders Rau. Together with a compact delegation of young political activists and influencers, Rau posed for the cameras with the American president-elect at his invitation, chanting 'Fight! Fight! Fight!' in English and German. ...
Alice Weidel, the AfD leader, became one of the first politicians abroad to welcome Trump's victory, and party members say they are cultivating proximity to the incoming administration, with a few planning to attend next month's inauguration in Washington.
Rau, an AfD candidate for the Bundestag from Saxony-Anhalt state, posted snapshots on Instagram of his brief encounter with Trump in Florida on 5 November, with voting still under way.
'It will remain an everlasting memory, being allowed as the first and until now only member of the AfD to shake the hand of @realdonaldtrump on the day of his victory,' he wrote. 'We hope that Donald Trump will create the renewal for his country that we as the AfD plan for our country.'" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/07/far-right-activists-from-germany-spent-us-election-day-at-trumps-mar-a-lago #OrgClassifPPDEAfDAlternativeFurDeutschlandPhillippAndersRau #OrgClassifPPDEAfDAlternativeFurDeutschlandAliceWeidel #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaPalmBeachMarALago #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #2024_

Just three staffers remain at the Observatory, and they will either leave or find roles at Stanford's Cyber Policy Center, which is absorbing what remains of the program, according to eight people familiar with the developments, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
The Election Integrity Partnership, a prominent consortium run by the Observatory and a University of Washington team to identify viral falsehoods about election procedures and outcomes in real time, has updated its webpage to say its work has concluded.
Two ongoing lawsuits and two congressional inquiries into the Observatory have cost Stanford millions of dollars in legal fees, one of the people told The Washington Post. Students and scholars affiliated with the program say they have been worn down by online attacks and harassment amid the heated political climate for misinformation research, as legislators threaten to cut federal funding to universities studying propaganda. ...
'Stanford remains deeply concerned about efforts, including lawsuits and congressional investigations, that chill freedom of inquiry and undermine legitimate and much needed academic research -- both at Stanford and across academia,' Mostofi added.
The study of misinformation has become increasingly controversial, and Stamos, DiResta and Starbird have been besieged by lawsuits, document requests and threats of physical harm. Leading the charge has been Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), whose House subcommittee alleges that the Observatory improperly worked with federal officials and social media companies to violate the free-speech rights of conservatives.
Jordan has demanded reams of documents from Stanford, including records of students discussing social media posts as they volunteered to help the Observatory, and Stamos testified before the House Judiciary Committee for eight hours.
'Free speech wins again!' Jordan posted on X on Friday, calling the Observatory part of a 'censorship regime.'"

In both states, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) party she founded in January came in third.
Now comes the business of forming new governments. And if parties are to do this without the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), as all have pledged, the new BSW could become a kingmaker.
'The people, and I have noticed this on the campaign trail, are putting great hope in us,' emphasized Wagenknecht. The success of the BSW shows how few people still trust in the established parties, and how many voters feel let down. The AfD, which has been 'confirmed as right-wing extremist' by the domestic intelligence service, has also profited from this sentiment, according to Wagenknecht" (09 March 2024). https://www.dw.com/en/germany-new-bsw-party-in-kingmaker-position-in-east/a-70118284 #2024_ #OrgClassifPPDEAfDAlternativeFurDeutschland #ToponymEuropeGermanySaxony #ToponymEuropeGermanyThuringia

"Curtis Yarvin is hardly a household name in US politics. But the 'neoreactionary' thinker and far-right blogger is emerging as a serious intellectual influence on key figures in Donald Trump's coming administration in particular over potential threats to US democracy.
Yarvin, who considers liberal democracy as a decadent enemy to be dismantled, is intellectually influential on vice president-elect JD Vance and close to several proposed Trump appointees. The aftermath of Trump's election victory has seen actions and rhetoric from Trump and his lieutenants that closely resemble Yarvin's public proposals for taking autocratic power in America." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/21/curtis-yarvin-trump #2024_

#MagazineUSTheAtlanticAliBreland "The current moment looks a lot like fusionism 2.0: The uniting through line of opposing communism has been replaced by an opposition to 'wokeness,' as the University of Virginia historian David Austin Walsh has observed. The similarities between the political moments provide a rough model for how the new MAGA coalition might persist. In the original fusionism, communism was almost always a bigger deal than whatever libertarians and social conservatives didn't see eye to eye on. This worked because 'communism' never just meant one thing. It could be invoked to oppose the Soviet Union and the literal ideology of communism, to thwart the supposedly communist-infilitrated civil-rights and anti-war movements, or to refer to anything related to left-wing politics.
Wokeness now serves that function on the right. It's no coincidence that wokeness is a rebranded version of the right's previous bogeyman: 'cultural Marxism.' As Musk has ripped up federal agencies in a supposed effort to reduce government waste, a lot of what DOGE has actually focused on is rooting out perceived wokeness." https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/04/maga-elon-musk-steve-bannon/682257/ #PleaMAGA #CharacterisationTechBro #PoliticsNationalismWhite #PoliticsNationalismNativism #PoliticsGovernanceOligarchy #CharacterisationTechBroTechRight #TauntWokeness #EDUUSUniversityOfVirginiaUVADavidAustinWalsh #PoliticsConservatismFusionism #OrgUSFedGovDepartmentOfGovernmentEfficiencyDOGE #2025_
