    We updated the constitution after WW2. I guess it’s one of the most modern in the world. If even trump couldn’t turn the US into a dictatorship despite the horribly outdated constitution and voting system I have relatively high hopes for Germany, even if those idiots get into government for a term.

      Guess what? The constitution of the Weimarer Republik is also one of the most modern in the world. What do you wanna say with this? Those are just nice words. The problem with our constitution is, that you have to interpret everything in it. What is “Würde”? Have you seen “Würde” in your life? Can you touch it? No, you can’t. Also we have a lot of exceptions. In theory, nobody of the state can enter your house, if you don’t allow it. But if you get Bürgergeld suddenly it’s allowed. Weird, right? So, if right wing people get into all instutions, if they become judges etc. we have suddenly a lot of problems. What if they become Bundesrichter? What if they rule the Bundesverfassungsgericht? Then we have huge, huge problems. All nice stuff, to prevent Nazism is worthless, if the AfD gets a lot of votes. And the voting-system doesn’t help you a little bit, if the people are voting AfD.
