Some are also worried that the ban will backfire and make the AfD more popular than ever.
They should be, because it will. These globalist establishment parties going mask off and dropping any pretense of being in favor of "democracy" is blood in the water for the right wing, and terrifying enough to knock centrists off the fence to oppose them. It is a tacit admission that the noose is tightening.
If that isn't motivation to go after the commies even harder, I don't know what is.
The Weimar Republic actually did ban the Nazi Party in 1923, BTW. Obviously this did not actually stop the Nazis from continuing to grow in popularity (because banning them in no way solved the problems which attracted people to their cause in the first place) & eventually taking control of Germany within 10 years. The Germans have in fact been here and seen & done all this before, but it would seem today's '''''democratic''''' politicians insist on operating as though they are unburdened by what has been.
Already working. I know people who will vote for them just to spite the current government. There's tons of people who are just fed up but sadly this still is not the majority. I'll have to get a lot worse before things improve I am afraid. It's why I hope for the Trump effect, him winning giving some more people hope that if they do go out to vote they can change things.
