    69% is a strong result. 30% still voted for the fascist, but perhaps in those parts of Germany this is a relatively encouraging outcome.

      It is, this is the far east of Germany where the AfD is usually much stronger. They lost 8% compared to the parliamentary election earlier this year.

          I wouldn’t get my hopes up, this is still an isolated local case. Though it should be mentioned that they also lost a couple percent in the communal elections in the west two weeks ago.

          Meanwhile the ruling coalition is doing everything in their power to be as incompetent and corrupt as possible to ensure more votes for the AfD in the next federal election.

            Well, maybe seeing the American Nazis being even more incompetent and corrupt helps.
