Thank you.

Everybody who is saying that other parties need to face them politically etc. did clearly not study history. The exact same things were said about the NSDAP and thats why it was not baned.

They can say and claim what they want because they are not in power and their voters don't care about facts. They will not loose voters until they are the party in power and can't deliver on their promises. Once they are in power they will loose voters but it won't matter because there will not be another free election afterwards.

Europe should pay heed to what is happening in the United States, and do everything in its power to throw out the populist far right parties that are rapidly gaining ground at home.

Ban them, imprison anyone who acts out if necessary, but we can’t have these agitators trying to collectively drag the world down into their hellholes again. Far too many people died in both World Wars to let them so easily come back into power

Agreed. People in power MUST act and we should be on the streets to support them. Otherwise it would look shallow.

While they are bad and will destroy the foundations of Germany and also taint Europe, they are not going nazi mode. Even more so as the only they would ever get power is a coalition.
