The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has topped a nationwide opinion poll. Meanwhile, Kenyan athletes won both the men's and women's races at the Berlin Marathon. DW has the latest from Germany.
Many Germans firmly believe the AfD is not a nazi party. Many Germans defend them because the AfD tells them what they want to hear: “It’s not your fault that you haven’t struck it big yet in your life, it’s the insert minority/marginalized group of the month’s fault.” They truly believe that the AfD will help them.
It’s the same obvious, fascist playbook that they pulled in the US and people eat it up while laughing at your idiot president.
It’s insane. People are incapable of questioning themselves and thus incapable of learning.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that how it literally started with Adolf Hitler!?
