Check out what the party actually plans. It's the exact opposite of what those people that vote for it need. The demographic is based on uninformedness, correlating with lower incomes, marketed towards the group that feels disadvantaged because they feel that others around them have it better. This party is not going to advantage anyone, high or low income, but a step down in welfare hurts the most if you're already low income so best not choose them in that case. If you want "enough money to get an apartment/house, buy the basics they need", egalitarian Linke is the obvious choice, and the "and live in a safe environment" part is something literally everyone wants, hard to make a wrong choice there (though with their support for Russia, maybe AfD is questionable even on that front) > when one of your bigger companies announces letting go of 100k people in the next few years ...then you need social welfare the most? Linke is the biggest proponent of that. What is the logic here? > a result of people wanting something and the government doing the opposite This is perhaps the most mind-blowing part. For decades, the right wing government with Merkle at the head did very little for long-term good, so what's the opposite of that? Move further right!! This time it'll work for sure! Blame all the foreigners, inside and outside. Kick them out, reduce international collaboration and trade, and for a cherry on top, fuck the global climate even more than the compromise position previous governments were already pursuing. That'll fix all future problems No, obviously the opposite of leaving it all to the market and having strict immigration is to nationalize the things people actually need (as you say, things like housing) and have no concept of asylum (anyone can walk in and work here). Will that solve it? Maybe we need some middle ground? I'm not sure anyone has definitive answers to make a perfect world, but this nazi party is so far out there, saying it is "just an alternative" is like saying hitler was "just an option" that we could try and see how it works out. Yeah, people want something 'different' but what level of stupidity do you need to expect that voting for nazis is going to make things 'different and better' instead of 'different and worse'?
