It's a rather low hurdle but we cleared it, not a given these days.
Watching the election post morten with all the party leaders on German TV, it’s good to see that nobody has claimed that the election was stolen, tried to instigate an insurrection, or has thrown out a Nazi salute. German liberal democracy still in a healthier state than the US.
