Odd overestimation
The election in Bavaria looks rather undramatic by the numbers. CSU, which is basically the Bavarian brand of Merkel's party, lost some seats but still holds 35%. AfD, which had no seats before this election, now has 11% of the seats. The Greens gained most.
Dividing the parties in the ONLY meaningful way, pro-global vs anti-global, this is a small gain for the anti-global side. Nothing to get excited about.
BUT: Sorosian media are uniformly describing this as an 'earthquake' or 'massive losses' or 'conservatives battered'.
They would normally UNDERestimate or IGNORE a small loss by Satan.
I suppose they're thinking of the effect on Merkel's coalition, which is on the edge of falling apart. Last straw.
Sweden's election a few weeks ago had a similar pattern. Unimpressive shift in the numbers, ruling coalition collapsed.
