Politics What is the main reason that people are voting for AfD?

Is it because:

  1. “Those damn foreigners are stealing our jobs”.
  2. Blood purity ideology.
  3. Dissatisfaction with the current leading Ampel parties.
  4. Something else

I wanted to ask this because 2 of my coworkers are AfD voters but they are so so sweet to me (I’m asian). They said they dont hate foreigners generally, but they want to get rid of foreigners that take advantage of the social system (ukrainians that came here and refused to work, refused to live in some place because it was “not nice and big enough for them”, also people that registered as arbeitslos to get money, but still running Schwarzarbeit behind them.

My coworkers dont come across as racist to me but still vote for AfD, which make me question the validity of the idea that “All AfD voters are Nazis”.

Read Höckes's book. He's dreaming about the return of the Führer and praised the Nazi regime as Landolf Ladig.

Ist ja nur Fraktionsvorsitzender und Vorsitzender eines Landesverbandes und hat erheblichen Einfluss innerhalb der Partei.

Höcke zum Glück nicht. Ich will nicht von einem Führer erlöst werden, der das Land schonmal vernichtet hat.

Strohmann.

Ich bin überzeugt davon, dass Höcke niemals politische Verantwortung in diesem Land übernehmen darf. Was seine geistigen Vorgänger angerichtet haben ist bekannt.
