Germany still has a bunch of work to do, sure, but I'd still very much prefer having a firewall to no firewall.

The "firewall" in Germany is mostly used to crack down on speech that the government dislikes, not to protect democracy in any way.

Nazis are just as entrenched in Germany as in the US, if not moreso.
