    Germany is going to turn you away because they’re also becoming rightwing authoritarian, not because they think US immigrants are too fascist.

    Also, they’re too scared of the US to officially grant US citizens asylum, even if they did want to do that.

      I gotta be honest: As much as I’m trying to leave the US, I don’t think I could ever go for Germany after Israel. Obviously the US is Israel’s biggest sponsor, but for as much discourse as there is about the UK being right behind us, I’m convinced that Germany is worse (than the UK).

        AFAIK the other EU/EFTA countries aren’t much better when it comes to rightwing authoritarianism. Even the ones that currently have center-left governments usually have a strong far right opposition waiting for next election, and a lot of the time the center-left governments are already enacting rightwing authoritarian policies (see UK).

        But fair, Germany should know better given its history, but instead it just made them more vulnerable to Israeli propaganda and blackmail.
