Am 25.05.15 marsch. Pegida mit bis zu 2.8000 Menschen durch #Dresden. An d. Teilnehmerz. kommen sie längst nicht mehr heran (auch wenn sie es natürl. propagieren). Heute marsch. Pegida wieder (wohl mit weniger als der Hälfte an Pers.). Infos zum Gegenprotest: @hopedresden

Worum es Pegida (damals noch mit #Festerling) bereits 2015 ging, zeigt dieser Post von ihr (Subtext mitlesen):

Am 18.05.2015 stand übrigens Curd "Ben Nemsi" Schumacher auf der Pegida-Bühne. Der war eine Zeit lang richtig dick mit "WfD"-Hönicke und man unternahm auch viel zusammen:

I don't understand why the replacement of #DieLinke by #AfD as the new "Ostpartei" is not one of the major stories of #BTW17 🤔 #Thread
1. Sure, many media have noted that #AfD won almost twice as many votes in East than West and some great articles were written about "revenge of East" theguardian.com/world/2017/sep…
2. But main story is Merkel lost to AfD because of her "soft" position on refugees. While this is true, there are two important caveats to this story.

As my @guardian piece is only on #AfD here some general thoughts on #BTW17 results in a #Thread
1. There is no doubt that this is Germany's #SchwarzeSonntag (Black Sunday). It was long in coming but it came much harder than expected.
2. #AfD breaking 10 percent is highly significant, as German small parties rarely get double digits!

A few thoughts on last night's #TVDuell between #Merkel and @MartinSchulz: #Thread

#BTW17
Most Germans found #TVDuell boring and criticized lack of any controversy or contest of ideas between the two candidates.
#TVDuell seriously felt like the beginning of coalition talks between @CDU and @spdde. Germans hate that!
