I think our take in the USA is it's just a breath of fresh air to hear a country resist nazis at least a little. I 100% get your point though.
And he himself wants to take trans rights away, too. In addition to what you wrote already.
So that really just leaves the Greens at around 12% and Die Linke at around 8.5%.
Greens have followed the anti migration train all too much too. Just with some stomach aches.
The top three parties are either far right (AfD) or happy to let pandering to the far right determine at least some of their policy.
In so doing, they primarily just enable the original.

This outcome, the way it looks now, is bad.
The fact that the AfD didn’t do even better really isn’t a good way of looking at this.

They ARE nazis!

But I don’t doubt that RW so-called Christians principally from the American arse-hole will always be an evil influence in Europe.
