Europe has seen a surge in terror attacks, many carried out by migrants, further pushing the continent into a major crisis. This has only fueled growing support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which doubled its voter base in February’s election, securing its position as the Bundestag’s second-largest party. Yet another attack in Germany only suggests that AfD’s support will likely strengthen as liberals have mismanaged the migrant crisis and far-left progressive governments have failed to protect their citizens.
Germany has suffered a wave of terror attacks, with cars and knives used as deadly weapons. The latest attack occurred in Mannheim on Monday when a man drove into a crowd of people.
Here’s more on the incident from Reuters:
Police detained the car’s driver and later said he had acted alone, with no broader threat seen for the public. People were seen lying on the ground at the scene and at least two were being resuscitated, an eyewitness told Reuters. Bild newspaper reported that two people were killed and 25 injured, 15 of them seriously, citing security sources.
It remains unclear whether the driver acted deliberately or by accident. However, car-ramming attacks in Germany have been on the rise.
According to The Telegraph:
- Last month, a man drove a car into a trade union demonstration in the southern city of Munich, killing a two-year-old girl and her mother.
- In December, a car-ramming attack targeted a Christmas market in the eastern city of Magdeburg, killing six people and wounding hundreds.
- In August, three people were killed and eight injured in a knife attack in Solingen. The suspect was a suspected member of the Islamic State group.
The series of attacks on German citizens has given AfD momentum following its surge in voter support to 20.8% in February’s election, making it the second-largest party in the Bundestag.
And support continues to rise…

The takeaway is that each new terror attack in Germany further strengthens AfD’s support.

What the Liberals have done to this world is unforgivable. After Trump’s Triumphant speech this week, the only Loser Democrat I know told me that he will never vote for a Democrat again after their disrespectful actions, and utter lack of empathy for a thirteen-year-old boy who has fought Brain Cancer since he was six years old, and the families of slain children by illegal thugs the Democrats so lovingly protect. This should come as no surprise to anybody considering the damage they have done to our Country since Obama, O’Biden, and his Terrorist Marxists were elected by the illiterate.
They invited the muslins in, so now what? Do they deport them or?
