Leading politicians have left the AfD because the party became too racist. This means that there was a development.
I read that Lucke calculated that he could use the extremists but keep them under control. A packt with the devil.
I think that Lucke’s plan could have worked if not only racists would have joined. Then conservative citizens would still control the party. Lucke losing the election was when the racists took over. The media made it impossible for regular citizens to join without losing face.
But this is a minor issue. It doesn’t matter if the AfD was racist from the start or turned racist. It’s the media that gave attention in both cases. Lucke’s new party and many other parties like Volt are ignored. Why did only the AfD receive the attention to become relevant?
