Unfortunately the AFD (Nazi party over here. Like there's no sugar coating it. They're literally the Nazi party) has an approval rating of 11% among the population pollswnd it's quite concerning.

I do not like to think about the fact that 1/10 people I meet are straight up neonazis :/

And another 2/10 would have no problem with the AFD gaining power.

Another 2/10 would be indifferent and put up no resistance.

So you have probably half the population who would just let it happen and maybe support it

Another 2/10 would put up light resistance

Another 2/10 would put up strong resistance

And the last 1/10 would actively plan kill and be okay with dying to stop them, leading the resistance.

Now ask yourself: can a facist takeover happen again? In Germany? Maybe the USA?

if there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis

Luckily the last time the AFD tried getting into power, literally every other party banded together to block them (over here parties can work together to use their combined power for leverage.)

Unfortunately this move was seen as "controversial" and caused quite a lot of ruckus with the Nazis.

That's been. While ago though iirc. With other right wing parties gaining votes again (mainly CXU), i don't see a CXU/AfD Coalition as impossible anymore.
