There's growing concern that German society is becoming increasingly polarized. The question of how to treat the AfD party threatens to further deepen the divide.
Agreed. If AfD is forbidden for good, I’m not saying there isn’t a chance that some loudmouths will be able to turn it to their advantage and do some serious rabble-rousing, but there’s a larger chance that people will just move on. (Almost) nobody wants to vote for an illegal party. People resent and spit (that’s why they vote AfD in the first place), but not (usually) to the point of rebellion.
Yes, there are a lot of additional qualifiers in the text above. Of course we can’t be 100% sure. I mean, look at the USA…
OTOH, disinformation and hybrid warfare are recognized for what they are in Germany and the EU, and I just hope we do more against it. Enough, before it gets even worse.
Also, the CxU have shifted so far to the right now, they can easily mop up the angry xenophobes. Sadly.
