The likes of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin have been eviscerated by damning floats at a carnival in Germany.

The satirical – and rather graphic – floats were on display in Dusseldorf this week as part of the annual Rose Monday parade, the highpoint of the region’s carnival season.

    Those floats would end up in a lawsuit over here in the “free world”

      I’m surprised they had so many swastikas on display. I thought it was illegal to display them in Germany. Or maybe there’s some exemption in the case of satire?

        Correct. It is perfectly fine to show Nazi symbols for educational and artistic purposes. And artistic means like those floats, not like Riefenstahl movies.

        I think it might be the intention. Also, rule bending.
