The Left Party’s Sahra Wagenknecht, one of Germany’s most controversial politicians, is threatening to form a new party. And analysts say it’s the far-right AfD that should be most worried.

    If you vote for people who got a Nazi-like mindset or are even okay with Nazi-like methods, you’re not a protest voter, but you endorse that kind of mindset and methods. This does make you a Nazi.

    End of discussion. There is no “but”

      Except that does not really help with the problem, since no-one is not going to vote for AfD because you called him a Nazi.

      Exactly. A “few bad apples” spoil the harvest. Putting it in German context: if you get a mass beer and someone dumps a teaspoon liquid manure into it, you don’t say “oh, that’s no a lot, most of that beer is still good”, you dump it.

    So no-one actually likes AfD, it’s just protest votes against the current establishment? Say it ain’t so!

        It’s from 2020 and the study itself began in 2018… I read about it earlier.

        I guess it is not really relevant anymore… And I’m afraid there’s less protesters and more right-winged mindset today.

      Doesn’t actually matter as the ones claiming to protest against the established and (mainly) governing parties don’t actually protest against anything they really do or say but against some completely made-up imaginary bullshit right-wing propagandists are pulling out of their asses on a daily basis.

      So are lost anyway… in particular they have lost any contact to actual reality.
