    They haven’t been manipulated by the AfD though. They’ve been manipulated by mainstream media.

      In my country the far right has spent hundreds of thousands on social media advertising. And what do they advertise? Fight videos where colored people are the aggressor. But advertising about how they are going to increase the pension age, lower taxes for people with capital, and all such bullshit is only mentioned in small print when you go look for it. The mainstream media just follows whatever the hype is.
