This is what everyone is talking about. The amount of wins of the AfD in East Germany. 40% wins. People pointing fingers to the east.

But…

Look at who got 2nd place in Germany. I know that the situation in the east is more dangerous for people on the ground there...but this is a nation wide problem.

We need to act.

@bitboxer Act how?

@below

Step 1: don't loose hope
Step 2: find a group of people who think like you
Step 3: figure out what you as a group want to do.

Local antifascist groups, NGOs, political parties…there are a lot of folks who need more support.

"Bildet banden!”

@bitboxer @below my village has 41% AFD voters. CDU with 24% second place. 9% bsw third place. People where I was certain they against AFD, like migrant-german couples we friends with, are voting AFD. No one in my village is benefitting from tax relief of the rich or refugee topics (no refugee home here). People have been manipulated to vote against their interest and I feel like I am the odd one out who doesn't get it...
@MBEverding @bitboxer Why are they doing this? Do you have an idea?

@below @bitboxer "the economy will be better with them"
"green energy is expensive"
"we have less democracy now than we had back then. The logical government would be CDU AFD"
"if you do a crime in Turkey they would also send you out"
"they not after migrants like your family but only criminal migrants"
"we need order again in this country"

Most of these statements my mind just freezes because I am like "how?!" I don't even understand how they got to that conclusion, so how can I convince?
