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.
I’ve heard (no idea if true) that young people™ that only know the fascist party through their Tiktok spam dont even realise their fascists. Not sure if that’s because of uneducation or lying on the part of the fascists. Maybe both.
I was in Gymnasium in the '90s. Education still seemed to be going well, unlike in the states.
Y’all must have been pissed to have to use “v” for Geschwindigkeit.
