Europe's global elites have been selling mass migration as some kind of popular snack food that's good for your soul. Euros were told it was compassionate, enlightened, and totally necessary to flood their countries with foreigners who refused to assimilate. And if regular "Joe Schmo's" noticed all the rising crime, cultural tension, social collapse, or the fact that not all cultures fit neatly together, they were smeared as backward hicks, hateful bigots, or too stupid to understand how "diversity" is our strength and our future.

Thankfully, over time, that lie is falling apart, and last night it crumbled even more.

And nowhere is that happening more than in Germany, where Angela Merkel's "refugees welcome" era is still slicing and dicing Germany to a pulp. Generosity really quickly turned into mass disorder, societal insecurity, a cultural horror show, and the realization that their left-wing leaders treated their nations like social experiments. People are finally saying out loud that cultures are different, those differences matter, and there is nothing evil about wanting to preserve your own country, your own traditions, and your own way of life.

Honestly, that's how it should be. The differences are what make the world interesting. But the left wanted to flatten all of that into one borderless global mush pot and then scold everyone when the clashes started. But people aren't lab rats, are they? They're now living with the consequences of this failed ideological experiment, and many of them are over it.

That's what these results out of Germany and France are really showing. Europe is waking up. The old taboos are starting to break. And the best news is that young voters are rejecting the stale ruling-class hooey they were told to mindlessly inherit without question.

The German left-wing parties are slipping, the right-wing AfD is gaining, and even in western Germany, where the establishment has a vice grip.

Euro News:

In the Rhineland-Palatinate state election, the Christian Democrats have, according to projections, won just over 30% of the vote. They are clearly ahead of the Social Democrats and look set to provide the next state premier.

Another blow for the SPD: Following their debacle in the Baden-Württemberg state elections two weeks ago, the party has suffered another sharp loss in Rhineland-Palatinate, dropping around nine percentage points and losing to the CDU.

The biggest gains went to the AfD, which, according to projections, comes third with around 20%.

While all three governing parties (SPD, Greens, and FDP) suffered more or less significant losses—and the CDU and Left Party's gains of two to three percentage points appear modest—the AfD's jump of more than eleven points is striking.
