Technically all of them are potential far right extremists.
It is known. That is why 30% of the German people want them in power. Old habits.
And that is precisely why its neighbors should view Germany’s rearmament with suspicion.
Same for the French, Swedish, Polish people. Their neighbors should treat their armament with great suspicion.
If the AfD remains this popular, it is more likely that the German armed forces will be used in the near future to help Russia than to defend Europe against a new Russian invasion.
Or the future French armed forces under their extreme right-wing party. Also the extreme extreme right wing in Poland (Konfederacja) would help Russia. Trust nobody.
As for the French, it may well be true that the RN is capable of winning the next elections, yes. But Poland’s Konfederacja is still far from attaining power.
Old French habits then?
Indeed, it is France we need to watch out for. AfD and Konfederacja are both far from attaining power. AfD and Konfederacja will never have a majority or is unlikely find coalition partners.
CDU will welcome AfD with open arms as soon as they secure a minority majority, just as their predecessors did.
Why are the so likely to do that? I’m not am expert.
Only half? Seems low
Half are potential, the other half are verified
I would have thought that membership counted as a form of verification, here.
No that’s not correct.
Ah yes, the most important criterion for humor: correctness.
Are you German?
Yes, Germany bad.
The implication was that Germans don’t have any sense of humor. It seems that you’ve done nothing to disillusion us of that trope.
Yes Germany bad. The implication is that you’re peddling negative stereotypes.
Your complete lack of capacity for self-reflection is impressive.
Nein, der Witz ist, dass Deutsche keinen Humor hätten. Das ist aber nur trizen und nicht ernst gemeint.
In dem Fall ist’s fast noch witziger, weil du den Witz erst genommen hast. Nimm das nicht übel. ^^
I don’t like it when people throw stereotypes around whenever they get the opportunity. You sound like you internalized the stereotype and find it funny
Has anyone in there even looked at their proposals?
No. The average AfD voter will scream in your face and call you a liar and spreader of fake news when you read them verbatim from the AfD’s program. It’s the exact same as for all the other far-right cults where sanity has left the building a long time ago.
The other reaction I’ve encountered is: “They just say that to get attention, they don’t actually want to do those things.”
don’t take these polls to serious, remeber those who are unhappy are most willing to participate and voice their anger, and the AfD party is 99% anger. Normal people will just ignore pollsters, so the real number is hopefully lower
This is a delusional and dangerous as hell perspective to take.
