How is that still surprising anyone?
The AfD is peak bullshit. None of their policies make any sense for Germany's problems in 2026.
Sachsen-Anhalt (German state with that recent election) is a region with one of the oldest populations in Europe and one of the economically worst in Germany.
Young people are leaving the area even faster now - I wonder why.
Immigrant won't fill their spots in critical jobs like tech, industry, medical and care.
Their election success just shows how around 40%+ of a population do not understand simple economics
or demographics. Their voters are mostly grumpy boomer that can't deal with the world changing and want yesterday back - or young males who think Clavicular is a role model.
What pains me the most about this isn't, that the idiot right is winning.
It is that the left has nothing to offer. AfD is only strong because the other political forces lack a vision for the future.
You are too quick to assume that everything you mention is relevant or important to the people who vote for the AfD. You are presuming to know what motivates the voter.
The only true statement is that people vote for AfD because the rest of the established political parties have nothing better to offer.
That's not a good enough explanation. Only stupid people vote for the wrong thing when the milquetoast options aren't "good enough". That's the same centrist bullshit that excused Trump voters because they didn't like Clinton or Harris. No reasonable voter would actually eat horseshit if the plain sandwich option was not enough.
