If one looks at Bavarian history, it’s always been very Catholic and very Conservative....apart from the crazy bit in the 1920s when the Communists took over and declared it a Communist Republic.
Since 1946, the CSU have only lost their majority once, that was in 2008.
Sporadically in bits of Bavaria, the SPD and the Greens have some support, but it’s minimal compared to the large support for the CSU. Horst Seehofer is exceptionally popular, as is Ilse Aigner, Markus Söder and Hans-Peter Friedrich.
A few years ago Hans-Peter Friedrich said that Islam in Germany is not something supported by history at any point.
I believe that the majority of Germans would agree with him, except the Berlin area, which isn’t really representative of Germany and never has been.
I should also add, that the FPÖ doubled their support the other week in the elections in Upper Austria, simply on the Muslim horde issue.
The Upper Austrian’s mentality is very similar to the Bavarians, whom they share many cultural points with, heck their dialect is even called Austro-Bavarian.
A number of Germans have been caught up in the propaganda, which is mega at the moment. Grandma was once a refugee, then they’ve just experienced the re-unification thing, where Merkel and Fatso Sigmar Gabriel et al, were all babbling on about how Germany had a similar situation with taking on millions of new people....absolutely absurd comparison that, considering those “new people” were GERMANS, unlike the Muslim horde.
Germans are slowly waking up, Merkel’s poll numbers are dropping and now a majority of Germans are saying enough is enough.
Now Horst Seehofer is threatening this:
