Germany's far-right AfD projected to win

How can I change the title?

Apart from this, "winning" an election is not the same as actually becoming the government.

Is Russia going the have Soviets 2.0 where this time the Orthodox Church is part of the administration and Germany will be Nazi Germany 2.0 but this time Jews and Homosexuals are welcome?

Besser kann ich's nicht unter schonender Schutzatmosphäre verpacken.

I feel so angry and ashamed for what the EU bureaucrats and politicians have done to the EU.

Many people do feel like me. I'm not german but I know that half of that region didn't suddenly wake up "neo-nazis": they're people who are fed up with what the politicians have done to their countries.

You cannot change abruptly systems / countries / cultures by flooding them massively with migrants from different cultures by the tens of millions and expect the entirety of the population to, like you, beg for more.

By the way, you've got egg on your face.

Many things.

"most popular party nationally"

But not as bad as it sounds, because we have many different parties, and the majority is not AfD.

That's the only explanation that makes sense to me, without calling lots of people Nazis/fascists/communists etc.

And turnout was way, way up, indicating that a lot of people went out to vote.

Like, I dislike who they voted for, but as a democrat, I want more people to vote so I'm a little conflicted at the moment.

The AfD's only selling point is that they'll end immigration.

Here's what happened: 2.6 migrants coming to Germany in 2022 alone. Net migration into Germany in 2022: +1.4 million.

There are many germans (and many people in the EU) who don't like to see mass-migration from Africa and the middle east.

It's those who let that happen (and pushed for it) who are responsible for people voting for extremist political parties.

The same is happening in France and even Gabriel Attal (ex french prime minister) said France failed to control both its legal and illegal migration and that now he wants to only allow in migrants who are coming to actually work (Gabriel Attal is probably going to be a candidate to be the next french president).

You cannot look at the AfD and say "bad AfD" / "evil neo-nazis germans who voted for them" and not take a cold hard look at what happened with migration in the EU these last years.

It's difficult to convince people in an idea if your goals are noble. If they are not, it's a lot simpler. The basic fear is that they will lose what they have right now and are easily manipulated into magnifying those fears.

A catastrophe named democracy. Leftists are rejecting democracy and embracing autocracy to get their way.

This is my take: Poverty makes people not vote for some parties. But making so many vote for a party, especially with unconstitutional goals, is the result of a lot of desinformation. The AfD uses any possible opportunity and any possible topic to tell people that Germany is rotten to the core - while it is truly one of the riches country in the world with mandatory health insurance and unemployment compensation. (Not saying that Germany does not have significant problems. Far from.) Then, they tell people whom to blame (refugees, jews, homosexuals etc.). This builds up hatred. it is not important whether anything of this is true at all. All that counts is: They can continue to be angry.

There are enough YouTubers who show AfD voters contradictions in their arguments. The AfD voters usually react with even more hate. They just want to see things burn while accepting any possible collateral damage.

Why do you hope that? The AfD supporters already chant Sieg Heil at meetings.

They could have removed their "radical" (code for: neo-nazi) ideas months ago and they could have got more votes and/or a coalition to implement their "good" ideas. Instead they doubled down on them even though it sabotages their "good" ideas. Why do you think it is?
