The Germans Who Say They Will 'Leave' If AfD Wins

 It's an odd topic.

I would make a educated guess that around 5-percent of Germans walk around and occasionally say that if there is some national election and AfD wins....they will up-and-leave.

If you engage with them on this....asking where they intend to settle...you don't get a real answer.  Some might hint Austria or Greece....but you have AfD-like parties in those countries as well.

This being simply a BS-chat topic?  More or less.

In almost all EU countries now....there's some party like the AfD, and most gravitate toward issues with migration/immigration....which the majority of opposition parties have no real ability to control or resolve the issue.

This reaction....something like the US folks who said they'd leave the US if Trump won again (2024)?  Well....you can say that to some degree.  Some folks did try an exit, and based on chatter via social media....I'd say around 50-percent found the new country not as good as US-living.
