Is it safe to store data in Germany, given the strong showing of AfD in the election? They are now in second place, and who knows what will happen in the next 5 years!

AfD is pro-Russia and pro-Trump: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AfD_pro-Russia_movement

Political parties in Germany don’t have the same power as the president in the US.

What about the Chancellor?

Not nearly as in the US, plus our version of the supreme court is not beholden to political parties

So in other words, storing data in Germany does not solve the problem, it is just better than the US. The US currently has a wannabe monarch, but that's just for the next 4 years... we hope.

The GOP is now full of those wannabe monarchs otherwise they would stop him but they just want to succeed him and use what he and Musk start to implement.

Isn't the yellow monarch already talking about running for a third term? (Dementia and legality concerns not considered)

No governments are trust worthy.

I think the 'majority' were always like that, though I think in the recent years the proportions became higher.

It's safe to use FLOSS solutions with e2e encryption.

Open source post quantum cryptography is already being used at scale.
