    Ok but the AfD is literally just modern Nazis.

    Calling people who voted for them stupidity is the extremely charitable label, because malicious and vile would be more accurate in that case.

    Comparing Italy and Germany here just isn’t equivalent.

      True, but people (and politicians) still don’t understand (or don’t want to admit) that like the Nazis, AfD are the consequence, not the cause.

      Calling people who voted for them stupidity is the extremely charitable label, because malicious and vile would be more accurate in that case.

      Why ? Just because they voted for the Right wing that promise to solve what they see as a problem while the Left wing call them bigot, racist and homophobe, if they even acknowledges what people see as a problem ?
      Yeah, maybe the problem is only perceived and I am pretty sure that AfD has no way, other the easy slogan, to solve their problems, but do you really think that ignoring (or worse, insulting) the people who ask you to solve a problem is the right way to get their vote ?

      It is not that all the people who voted for the right wing became suddently fascist, it is simply that the other side has no answer to what people are asking, so people go for the only side that has an answer, even if stupid.
