I feel like every time I look back over my shoulder at Germany the AfD has achieved some new level of Mask Off
It’s like the institutional-racism-supporter version of shooting your load before the other one’s even finished getting their pants off, like bro you’re still in an official quarantine by literally all the other parties, like they’re not even considered for grand coalition.
It’s because:
1- their racist shit doesn’t seem to be hurting their polling, and
2- the assumption is the other parties will work with them once election day comes, if they keep their 30%
They have to take it slowly and they somewhat know that. They have to slowly (depending on the context) expand the border of what’s sayable. Sadly the other parties in Germany mostly don’t work against that but (maybe just because their just plainly too stupid to see what’s happening) play in their cards legitimizing their shifting discourse🫨🫨🫨🤬
