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
Exactly.
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.
