I think it is time to talk about immigration, it is the gateway to all this rubbish. Conservatives, liberals, social democrats and socialists believe that not talking about it is a solution, as if putting hundreds of thousands of people with low incomes and different cultures was not going to generate conflicts.
I’m not talking about closing borders, or abandoning them in their countries, or expelling them, I don’t know what the solution is, but to ignore the problem, to label as racist anyone who complains or questions the situation. Bold proposals are needed that do not ignore the challenges or we will return

Except that the places in Germany that have the highest votes for that piece of shit AfD have the LOWEST amount of immigrants.
Well, I’m not from Germany, I don’t know the particularities of this case, but I do see that all of Europe, migration is the place where his speech enters the table.Then they put the things of each one, that if the south is lazy, that if Europe keeps the money for health, that if such a region is going to break the country. victimhood and fear they don’t only grow where there are real reasons for it and facing the problem instead of despising whoever sees it usually gives better results in the long run
Not particularly surprising. I expect that those areas have AfD in leading positions in local governments and implement policies to avoid migration.

Then you don’t know what you are talking about.
No, it’s more like most of those regions have low economic opportunities to begin with and that’s why not many people migrate there. Conversely especially young and educated people leave those places for greener pastures.
Also note that it also makes sense that areas with higher immigration backgrounds to yield less votes (as a relative proportion of total votes) for the AFD. Simply because people with immigration background would be stupid to vote against their own interests.
And the moral of the story? Never ever should left-leaning parties enter a coalition with neoliberals. Thank you, FDP, for constantly sabotaging the government and destroying public trust with these actions. And thank you, Friedrich Merz (current leader the conservative CDU opposition party), for being a fucking loser who was losing constantly against other conservative candidates before and now thinks the party should embrace American culture war. So far, it has only helped the AfD, but I’m sure the good old Friedrich has a solid plan.
but I’m sure the good old Friedrich has a solid plan.
As we all know that Friedrich Merz has zero morals he obviously has a solid plan to get to power: He still has 2 years to parrot far-right propaganda even more while gradually forgetting his pretended resistence against a CxU-AfD coalition.
Most of the people voting for the AFD are just upset with the current plitical Partys, thus they vote for them in protest
but do they really have to give their protest vote to a party of bigots when there are better options available?
Their problem with current political parties seems to be that they don’t address the “problem” that is the presence of brown people in germany “appropriately”
They already went through all other options.
If Ossis really want to scare the political establishment they should resurrect the SED and demand Article 15 socialisation of all means of production. Don’t even have to enter federal politics to do that a majority in a state parliament suffices.

Maybe some, but several studies have shown, that a good deal of AfD voters are in fact completely on board with their fascist world view.
And those who are not still tolerate it.
Just blaming it all on dissatisfaction without addressing the deep seated bigotry in large parts of the population does not help the discussion and in imho only helps to further legitimize the AfD as a serious alternative.
Still 7 % FDP ?! WHO ?!
The people voting for them firmly believing to totally become one of their rich clients soon™ (after whatever rediculous investment idea they heard on TikTok makes them rich…) weren’t known for their working brain cells before, so why do you expect them to smarten up suddenly?
