Many are discounting AfD showing as a disappointment or a disaster. You need to take long view, OK? AfD have the largest gain of all parties, including Die Linke. They are going to add over 50 seats in parliament, and this in a smaller Bundestag.

How is it possible that the AfD party doesn't get more than around 20% after all that Germany has been through?

Realistically, their absolute ceiling for this round was 23%. We had a whole other round nationwide freaking out AgAInST tHE RiGHt, and unlike last year, AfD did not lose 30% of their support, they held steady throughout.

They faced the most disgraceful state media attacks I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot in Germany. Remember how many boomers vote in my country and how many of them do nothing but watch TV. 20% is not a terrible result, okay?

I'm not saying the party is perfect, or that there's nothing they can improve, but this is a long game. The CDU is all set to get fucked right now, the AfD can prepare to be a 25%+ party in the next elections (which may well happen sooner than you think).
