A greatcoat worn by the senior US border patrol official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations across the country, has raised eyebrows in German media with some commentators saying it resembled a fascist aesthetic.

Bovino has been an increasingly recognisable figure during the raids in Minneapolis for the brass-buttoned, calf-length olive green coat, which is unlike the fatigues and body armor worn by many of the federal agents.

Along with his close-shorn haircut, the media organization Der Spiegel suggested in a video feature that Bovino’s look recalled that of a Nazi officer.

    The important thing to note here is that Germany, a country that has been cucked by America for over 50 years, is openly talking shit of the highest degree (non-racist Germans take their anti-Nazi stance very seriously, it’s a big part of the culture). Living in the West in such interesting times is a bit concerning, lol.

        It’s simple actually. “Money donations” are not “freedom of expression” like in the US, there are very limited amounts that individuals may donate to political parties, anything above is corruption. This is the general rule across Europe. You don’t want your democracy for sale, you don’t allow it to be bought.
