Yes, the fringes in Germany can get pretty crazy, but in general politics in Germany are pretty tame overall. In fact it's nice that parties like FDP exist because then it's easier for AFD to push out their more extreme members as they grow more mainstream, while FDP remains irrelevant to the nation as a whole. You're not going to have families splitting up over politics, or super crazy flame wars except with the most extreme of partisans. The same goes for Canada. Most things are a storm in a teacup that average people don't get too terribly worked up over. If anything, it's municipal and state/province/prefecture level politics that rile people up the most in more stable democracies. Turkey, on the other hand, has gotten pretty nasty, to the point where my friends refuse to even talk about politics anymore.
