Idk, from what I’ve seen the people in East Germany aren’t really Nazis some are, but lots of them have just lost so much faith in electoral politics and the AfD have never been in power so they’re just like fuck it, might as well let them try. The AfD was utilizing nostalgia for the DDR.
they may not be nazis, but they’re not communists either. there are practically no communists in germany now. there’s nobody to serve as a counterweight to all the various fascist parties (pro-establishment fascists like the CDU and that other one, anti-establishment-vibes-having fascists like AFD). with the so called respectable mainstream parties also taking their policies and rhetoric from AFD on a ton of issues, there’s no chance of anything ever shifting left. they’ll keep becoming more and more nazi.
none of the parties on offer improve people’s lives, yet people vote for them anyway. i dont think that’s the purpose of AFD in the grand scheme of things anyway, they’re there to push the CDU and SPD even further right and further normalize racism and fascism.
Do better Germany
i’m sure they will. next election, afd will win two states.
oh, you mean better as in less nazi? i’m afraid that’s no longer an option.

I don’t know about that, if the AfD can’t do anything to improve peoples lives I don’t think they’ll keep voting for them.

I don’t know if they’ll be able to do that though because a large amount of the voters aren’t voting for them because they are racist or fascist.
that hardly matters once they get elected
Well to organize a fascist putsch you do need supporters. So it kind of does matter.
This is what happened in the States. Same people are behind both movements.
Yep, politics is run by rich clever people, and they’re not really bound by borders 🤷♂️
