    Unemployment rate is at 6%. In 2019 it was at 5%. So no people are not loosing their jobs nor fear unemployment. At least not for a good reason, but right wing propaganda.

    Also the AFD would have to get into government, which if they do not manage it in the recently elected state parliaments, they will not do that on a federal level. That means the CDU will either have a coaltion with the SPD or the Greens. Both probably protecting most enviromental laws.

      You’re right, but what the AfD really excels at is dominating the discourse. They manage to shift the discourse away from saving the climate to immigration and “inner security”. So, no matter if they manage to get into power the next cycle, they managed to shift everything to the right weakening the influence of progressive parties(at least they are part of that problem, since the Ampel Koalition kinda killed themselves).

        Only because of willing helpers in the media. Whenever they instigate a “debate”, the media are all over it. Also the political establishment has no other idea than copying the Nazis’ talking points because they are successfully lying to themselves that they can gain a few votes by doing so, while it in fact only gives the Nazis legitimacy.

          This is absolutely true. They really understood how to make themselves seen because the media and other politicians talk about everything they talk about.
