    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.
