And 820 years later they continue this proud tradition of jumping into shit by voting for the fascist AfD.
What does AfD mean?
Alternative für Deutschland, far right German party
Nazis. They're not "far right," that language normalizes them.
They're Nazis.

Nazis are far right, calling them far right is not wrong
But Nazi is more precise and damning, so use it.
