      A spokesman from the extreme right party AfD once got cited with the words: “Je schlechter es Deutschland geht, desto besser für die AfD.” (The worse Germany is doing, the better it is for the AfD.) I think this highlights the underlying reasons why the AfD wants Germany to leave EU.

        No need to question, those are the motivations of any and all conservatives. Anything else is just toxic fluff…

      That’s the same people who saw a disastrous and criminal four years of Trump and are going, “We need to go back to that!”
