About a month ago....a news media group (not a common or generally recognized one) came out with more 'chatter' going against the AfD Party (the far right guys).
About that time, with enthusiasm pumped up by the normal parties (CDU, SPD, Greens, Linke, etc), and hype from the public TV crowd....the anti-right demonstrations went into turbo mode.
Do the three state elections slated for the fall figure into this as well? Oh yes.
In the three elections....AfD is slated to win 30-percent or more of the vote, but is frankly in a crappy position to form a government. What the CDU, SPD and Greens wish for......AfD loses a quarter or more of their votes....making it easier for the CDU to form a government in the three states.
Is there any proof that the voters are distancing themselves from AfD? Marginally so.
If the opposition really wanted to dismantle AfD's 'magnetism'? Well....you'd do something about the deportation issue. Somehow, you'd crank up a fix to get 240-odd thousand folks to exit the country because of the failed asylum paperwork.
I'm not saying this is wasted effort with the hundred-thousand folks showing up to demonstrate against AfD....it's just that the core of voters who support AfD.....aren't really paying attention to the demonstration or the public TV message/brand/theme.
More of the demonstrations to continue? I would imagine all the way to September....it will be this way, and people mostly shocked that it really didn't change much.
