To assuage you a bit. The AfD is a paper tiger inflated by the media. I’m not saying there is no chance for them to ever reach power, but right now it’s not very likely. They lack something important: competent people in local politics. They don’t care about local politics, they often lack the shoes to fill posts, or have people nobody likes, or have people whose only competence is to wail on immigrants.
Yup that is the thing to be concerned about.
The mouthpieces are replaceable. Considering how fast the AfD is radicalising it is likely they’ll sabotage themselves before ever gaining real relevance. It’s much more important to look at what put them there in the first place.
The way I see right wing misinformation pop up more and more as “sponsored” content here in Germany is worrying. The next far right party that eventually pops up will likely have a much bigger politically active base. And I don’t want to think about the influence global warming will have…
