Ad now a lot of them are aggressively racists and AfD keeps winning eastern states. Seeing your country gutted by capitalists and turning around and saying "actually it's the Turkish and Syrian people down the street's fault"
If you look at votes by demographic all the people that would have actual memories of the GDR vote a lot more moderate than all the people that were brought up in the 90s
That's exactly the problem though. Capitalists can simply claim they're on the proles' side because they are Germans too. It's that depressingly easy. Just feed people nationalism.
Yup. There's a (lib) theatre group that did an experiment in Estonia, where they made a fake political party that had no policies, promises, or even political history... just beyond parody nationalist performativity and 'pretty' looking politicians.
They went from nothing at all in politics to polling at 25% of the vote at one point.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
