6 charts to help Americans understand the upcoming German elections
The language used to describe AfD is strikingly similar to the one used to describe Trump supporters prior to the elections. The truth is, the influx of immigrants is a real problem in Germany, although in some places is felt more than in others. Normal people turn to AfD for help, not because they&#x27;re aggressive or hateful. It&#x27;s difficult to even have a civilized discussion about it without being labelled as &quot;racist&quot; or &quot;extreme right-wing&quot;. (Fortunately, the label &quot;Nazi&quot; is rarely used, it&#x27;s more American domain these days.)
