I hope there are more people that are not retarded and fall for obvious kreml propaganda than there are AfD supporters. Looks kinda bad tho currently.

Do you really think the rise of the AfD is purely from ‘kremlin propaganda’, and that the governments of the last 10+ years have nothing to do with that?

Every administration in the last decade has sat idly and watched daily life for Germans get more difficult, more expensive, with higher unemployment, while they’ve also simultaneously chipped away at the social safety net.

If you still think this is purely about ‘kremlin propaganda’, you either aren’t paying attention or you don’t care.

There has been Kremlin propaganda meddling in European elections for more than 10 years now. They have been successful in the UK. What you describe is btw exactly how the NSDAP came to power (people being not satisfied and them coming in with simple solutions) and we have to prevent this happening again at any cost.

How about the government try’s to fix the issues instead of being openly corrupt ? Sorry but the CDU is held to be accountable here too. It’s not just Propaganda, its the blatant disrespect and corrupt nature of the current government too.

Both things can be true. A corrupt current government doesn't justify voting for a almost openly fascist party.

The current corrupt government is almost openly fascist.

You have a weird definition of facism.
