    Just do your best to keep your country from joining us. The AfD sure seems to be gaining speed like our tea party did.

      Yeah, it’s a serious issue. Our normal parties need to address urgent issues in order to get the protest voters back from the AfD. I’m convinced that 20% of our population are not nazis. They’re just stupid and angry because they don’t feel heard.

      Sure there are Nazis. But it’s not 20%. I hope.

        My dude, that was the genesis of the first Nazi party. Nazis weren’t monsters that crawled out of some portal to Hell, they were people.

          You’re missing my point or maybe I didn’t make my point very clear. I personally know people who voted the AfD. They are not nazis. Are they dumb in this regard? Yes. But they don’t hate minorities. They hate the lethargic SPD, CDU, etc.

          No party has a serious plan to tackle the immigration issue. And it is an issue. There’s no denying this. The AfD is the only party that openly complains about the immigration. Unfortunately their plans are horrible. So we need the normal parties to do normal things to tackle immigration normally, not like Hitler.

          That’s where they are stupid. They vote for the AfD because it’s the only vocal party about it. They fail to see that the AfD would just lock the immigrants up or round them up at the border. They’re ignorant and stupid. But they aren’t nazis.

          Again. Some certainly are. All I’m saying is that not ALL of their voters are nazis. They’re angry and misguided.

            All I was saying is that “Nazi” does not exclusively mean “vicious racist”. Sometimes it means “gullible people looking for someone to blame for their current problems”.

              In that sense I agree. Some people are so stupid that they would probably just flip if someone says minorities suck.
