    In any other situation I would ask what the hell you guys are doing over there, but as it stands we have pretty much exactly the same situation here in Sweden.

    Pretty scary development honestly. Europe really does not need a populist far-right resurgence right now.

      Mostly Loosers from East Germany who are always complaining that they don’t get enough, DDR was much better and hate foreigners because “they take away” the money “owed” to them in social contributions. (They also don’t like them for any reason because they are racists) They also don’t consume normal media but prefer Russian propaganda Media instead. (Green evil, Gas Good) (Look it up, 30% of the unemployed in Germany vote AfD which hates poor people, it’s mindboggling)

        Kind reminder that somewhere around 75% of survey participants who’d vote AfD are West Germans… Simply because East Germany only has 14M / 83M inhabitants. Yes, AfD is more popular in the East, but people vote for them everywhere in Germany.

        The Eastern Germans even complain about incomers from Berlin. And then they merrily vote for another right wing council that offers farmers far too much for land to be used for the construction of flats that are too expensive for locals.

        Hmmm, so some kind of job guarantee would really help deradicalize those unemployed AfD supporters?

          I dont think so, in Sonneberg unemployment was only 5% and there are also not many refugees. Still they vote for the AfD. It’s quite funny because the local companies can’t find enough people for their jobs, so they actually would need some foreigners they hate so much

            Votes for AfD and percentage of foreigners are actually completely opposite to each other.

            The regions with the least amount of foreign people are voting them the most…
