Neo-Nazis on the rise in Germany

And no, this is not an Onion article.  Far right wing extremists, including neo-Nazis, are on the rise in Germany, and they say their inspiration is  . . . Trump.

"Trump has become a savior figure, a sort of great redeemer for the German far right" - Miro Dittrich, German extremist researcher

“Trump has managed to attract different milieus, and that’s what we’re seeing here, too.  We have everything from anti-vaxxers to neo-Nazis marching against corona measures. The common denominator is that it’s people who are quitting the mainstream, who are raging against the establishment. Trump . . . is the guy fighting the liberal-democratic establishment.” - Matthias Quent, extremist researcher from another institute in Germany.

Biden has his groups of people that take inspiration from him too.

Unfortunately, the Alzheimer's and Dementia keeps them from remembering it.
