Exit polls for ARD and ZDF public television showed support for Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s center-left Social Democrats at 14%, below the 15.8% they managed in 2019 and far below their showing in Germany’s last national election in 2021.
The 70+ age group was the one the AfD performed worst in. It’s young people voting fascist here in Germany, the old folks vote CDU because that’s what they’ve always done.
And this is the most scary part of it. Specially that it isn’t just France or Germany but pretty much across the board young people voted for biggest populists out there.
I just want to quickly add it isn’t just “young people”, it’s young men. Women are still heavily left but 20-something men want to give the 1930s a try again.
