    but what the AfD really excels at is dominating the discourse.

    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.
