The AfD is a clone from he golden age of Germany. Every aspect that was common sense in the 1980's is represented by them, even if it is the viewpoint of Helmut Kohl (CDU) or Helmut Schmidt (SPD). Both were based and felt what the population wants: stability, security, wealth, personal freedom. All of that was taken by Globalist characters like Baerbock et al. now and was turned to the contrary by a 'conservative' leader A. Merkel in bed with 'social' democtrats or 'liberal' democrats. The AfD is conservative not only in name. Germany has lost it's mind in the Merkel era. Everything turned to shxt since then.
But I also believe the AfD is controlled as well. Every (opposition) party is infiltrated by foreign powers(US/UK). As you know Germany lost its last war as a sovereign Nation. "Since 1945 Germany was not sovereign a single day again" is a famous quote by a former CDU-leader Wolfgang Schäuble. A former CSU-leader, Horst Seehofer said the following: "Those who are elected have nothing to decide, and those who decide are not elected". Both quotes are true, I assume.
Germany has to touch ground, to recover, I think. The woke, green-left bubble, flanked by global psyops (climatescam, coronahoax, genderlunacy) reigns over Germany. If the people refuse to wake up, they will learn it the hard way.
