German Chancellor Merz gave a hyped-up CDU speech this week....touching on MAGA.
The basic quote? Something to the effect: 'The MAGA movement is not our movement. What they are doing with culture and media, how they deal with each other, is not our understanding of democracy.'
AfD? They have a theme that goes along the line of 'make-Germany-great-again'. I'd say of conservative voters....two out of five....would go to AfD....rest to CDU.
The problem here is....if you sat in a group of ten working-class Germans....asking for 'hot' political topics....it's going to financial woes, job-safety, price of grid-power, crime, negativity over migrants, and taxes.
In particular....a lot of German women are hyped-up (negatively) about safety of walking in public at night.
A lot of this commentary goes back to the idea....there was a 'time' when job-safety was not a issue....where the grid-prices were acceptable...where you could walk safely at night....and crime wasn't a big deal. This draws the typical German back to 'making-Germany-like-it-was'.
