Have looked into the AfD? They're basically a party of rightwing self-victimizers, frustrated lowlifes and downright nazis. Their voters don't care about facts or reality. Case in point: the current head of the party is a lesbian, married to an Indonesian woman living in Switzerland. This entire party is a contradiction in itself.

If you're from the US, they're maybe comparable to the MAGA crowd.
