    The worst thing is that right-wing ideals are opposed to what many voters think they are voting for.

    Right-wing parties may claim to support the working class, but in reality they are in favour of increasing privatisation (e. g. Afd wants to discontinue the public broadcasters) and private profits and enlarging the economic divide between the rich and the poor.

    I can’t believe that people continue to vote for the very same centre-right and right-wing parties (CDU/CSU, FDP, etc.) that have been in power for the last decades in Germany and are directly responsible for the continous downfall of (public) services, like the dreadful state of the two-class healthcare system (rich people and civil servants have private healthcare, everyone else relies on underfunded and mismanaged public healthcare).

    To me it seems like people are voting blindfolded. People desperately need more education in my opinion, which is why I also put blame on the (public) media for their often superficial and sensationalist reporting and lack of insightful explanations of current events.
