West Germany vs East Germany – what a difference 35 years makes 😬
Perhaps as predicted, but still, this map of the second vote in yesterday’s German election is pretty startling.
The former West goes almost completely conservative right (even my Heidelberg, a Green redoubt, wtf?), while the former communist East goes almost full fascist.
The places not following those trends bear discussion too: Kaiserslautern, Gelsenkirchen, East Berlin, Hamburg etc.
