Merkel time is over. The current CDU leader is a man owned by the chemical industry. The "C" is ancient history. The whole political spectrum in the US is so far right, a Republican party would end up under the feds scrutiny here, just like the AfD is.

Actually, a German "Republican party" was declared illegal a few years ago, and you need shitloads of evidence to do something like in Germany.
