Na, you're spot on, @movq! The result is an expected, terrible disaster. It just seems the absolute catastrophy is delayed for another four years.
Even though I'm the last one who wouldn't be glad about banning the nazis, I'm not a fan of banning parties in general. I believe that a healthy democracy has to withstand extremists. Whether it's still healthy is debatable. To me it appeared that the failed attempts to ban NPD in the past actually helped them gain more supporters.
The big established parties are all bad traitors. I blame them and their actions to help raise AfD. They just give a fuck about the ordinary people, they're only concerned about their private gain and power. I bet nothing will change, to the contrary, it will only get worse. The winners do have the chance to turn it for the better, but they just will not. No way, unfortunately.
But then, we must not forget that people are just dumb and stupid, too. Also, that won't change. AfD won't help these idiots either, but they still vote for them. I also don't understand how there is still so much support for the other big parties left. Education is important. Very important. But I have the impression that we're lacking it.

To a large degree, yes. But I think the media is also equally at fault. There was absolutely no reason to invite AfD people to *every* event and let them talk. This has been going on for over 10 years. When we give them a stage to spread their hate, are we really surprised that hate spreads … ?
I don’t know the answers to this desaster. I’m beginning to think that people literally just want an outlet for their frustration, nothing more. It’s not about what particular parties actually plan to do. At least I think this applies to people in their 30ies and 40ies.
