On average, yes. But if you look on a voting map[0], you'll notice that the majority of those votes comes out of the former DDR. In many other areas, much less than 1 in 5 voted for the brownshirts.
If you look even deeper, at people's actual attitudes[1], you'll see that far-right positions are approx. equally distributed in Eastern and Western Germany - the kind of people voting AfD in Eastern Germany (currently) just vote CDU in Western Germany.
No, the point I am making is that it very much depends on their location if this "1 in 5"-average is even remotely true. And looking at overall population statistics and concentration of jobs, it's comparatively likely that somebody migrating to germany is _not_ in those areas.
>> This is comforting, as an Argentinian living in Germany. 1 out of 5 people here voted for the AFD...
My fundamental aim here was to show the poster, that it's likely not as bad where they are - and since they are a migrant, I assumed that they were likely not in those really bad areas. Intended as a positive message. Sadly, I apparently butchered the delivery of this message, as several people interpreted it completely differently.
You have 4 years to address the issue, but instead chose resignation. Rather than collaborating with the other three to help guide the fifth away from radical positions. Now is probably the easiest time to do something against it before it's 2 out of 5 or even worse. What did YOU do in the last 4 years?
paid my taxes and chose public health instead of private so oma und opa could get medical attention they deserve. And now planning on moving to Ireland.
I cannot address the issue because between family and work and interviewing, time is out. I don't speak German, I can't vote.
I'd like to understand if your comment is coming from a German or not.
You've done only the bare legal minimums required to stay in the country. As a non-resident, you would also face challenges obtaining private insurance that provides the same level of care as state insurance for the same price. When fighting fascism, that effort is insufficient. I hope you find time to take up the fight when you're in Ireland, before there are no countries left to escape to. Good riddance.
