That doesn't take away from the fact that the AfD exploited this for their advantage. They took their fear and encouraged their imagination. They would have got a much larger proportion of the vote had the recent political mistakes of the West not happen imo. I truly believe people are getting savvy to that sort of manipulation from politicians and media outlets.
