This is a hell of a lot of inside baseball for those unfamiliar with German politics, so I’ll highlight this:
Exit polls showed the AfD did well among younger voters, winning in the 25-34 age bracket with 22% …
This is roughly in line with Holocaust denialism in the states in that age bracket from polls I’ve seen. We’re literally too far past WWII for young people to believe something that atrocious could happen, so they’re blithely voting for Nazism.

My source (https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bundestagswahl-2025-ergebnisse-so-hat-deutschland-gewaehlt-aktuelle-daten-a-6ace92df-43cc-48de-b183-2c98c7c19c2f) says it was 24% there, and unfortunately, that wasn’t their strongest voting age bracket. That was rather mine (35-44). Oh well
These are arbitrary age ranges anyway, but y’all are very precise with things, as is The Guardian here. It does not state that was their strongest cohort, merely that within this age range, they won.
