    The people over there are strangely attracted to the propaganda

    It’s due to the schools in the DDR. Kids growing up there didn’t learn a lot about Nazis and also didn’t have access to lots of media to teach themselves. Besides they had other problems to deal with.

    Then Germany got reunited and one half of the country was completely uneducated about Nazi Germany.

    Not to forget most Teachers and professors were still Nazis due to the lack of denazification.

      There are many reasons, but this is most probably one of them.

      And the economic weakness of this region doesn’t help either. I just cross fingers that the next election won’t be a disaster for us.

        If the current trend continues I see bad things on the horizon. If the AfD ever becomes part of a coalition then I’ll move to the Netherlands. They can’t get their shit together as well but at least I don’t care about their politics :(.

          I would still presume most parties would declare unable to build a government than build a coalition with AfD.

          My fear is that they actually get that strong they could lead a minority government (Minderheitsregierung). But I still believe in it’s not being that dumb again.
