  Additionally to the other comments - I think it also has something to do with the politic that was made since then. Yes, it fails, yes it makes mistakes but far-right politic wasnt on a world stage or had anything to say for 80 years. People might tend to think, well this "left" or "centric" politic didnt work out, simplified of course.

  The terrifying part, even if they all have stupid leadership, is they'll be a lot more deadly than last time with modern technology. US, Russia, Israel, China... how the fuck can the world go up against that, logically? All while you have billionaire techbros manipulating social media and news channels to spew propaganda for them?

  AFD is just German flavored MAGA just without a Trumplike cult figurehead since even the dumbest supporters would find that one a bit on the nose. Look to the USA for what AFD strives to bring to Germany.

  That’s a big assumption of all elections being fair during a time where rampant election meddling in pretty much every democratic election across the globe exists

  Same reason the police in my country are so inept and corrupt: They're more loyal to themselves than they are to the people they're supposed to be protecting.

  I wonder if "extremist" is the right term since the AfD seems to have become mainstream. Maybe a different term is needed.

  That is a problem Yes, but Putin in control of Germany, France and the UK is an existential threat to all Europeans.

  Actually the left played the greatest role. Unchecked immigration is what’s leading far right popularity.
