I'm sorry to say this but Germany and the rest of the European Union is slowly turning towards another mini-America thanks to austerity measures that were implemented following the European sovereign debt crisis. Fascist parties won numerous elections in Europe since Trump was elected president, which happened after the UK voted to leave the European Union. The financial crisis of 2008 caused many countries to implement austerity measures, which resulted in health and social services being cut. Canada was having an investment rate similar to Europe at the time between the 1950s and the late 1980s until austerity measures began being implemented in some provinces in the early 1990s. Those austerity measures later expanded after Harper became prime minister, and were continued under Trudeau at a federal level. This caused fascist parties such as the CAQ and the UCP to get elected into majorities between 2018 and 2019 despite losing the popular vote. The election of fascist parties to parliaments around the western world was caused by an increase in poverty that happened due to the imposition of austerity measures after the 2008 financial crisis. The fiscal cliff America had in 2011-2013 was a form of austerity.
