In Germany, Turkish community in the Ruhr tempted by far-right AfD party

www.lemonde.fr Turkish community in northwest Germany tempted by far-right AfD party

While Turkish immigrants in the Marxloh neighborhood of Duisburg had until now mostly voted for the Social Democratic party (SPD, center-left), they have gradually been drawn to the anti-immigration and conservative rhetoric of the far right.

More like "leopards are going to eat my face" but yeah, that is definitely where this is going to end up.

Those mexicans never learn. Doesn't matter if they're from Mexico, Turkey, or somewhere else... /s

Most will be german citizens nowadays, and germany isn't the wild west US - at least not yet or in the near future.
Voting AfD is always a mistake, though. As a party, it quickly degenerated into a gathering place for conspiracy nutjobs, popularist liars and simpleton followers, along with the far right, whose former party had been outlawed a short time before AfD was founded.
It's a party without a moral compass, nor the skill to achieve anything notable. Don't give them clicks nor votes.
- As pointed out in the linked thread part of Afd policy is taking their citiztenshio away and deport them.

  Those are the AfDs goals though..

Crud, the article is subscriber only. So, are they actually drinking the Kool-Aid or are they just betting on who they think are the winning side?
