Yes, to some extent. More seats means more pressure

So they wouldn't have significant political power, but they would have a political presence at all, which feels threatening?

They already have a presence, and are shaping the politics of Germany indirectly. As our leading conservative party (and our socialdemocatric middle -left party to some extent) makes the same error as in US as trying to cater to those extremist views. Which is frightening as fuck, as more and more fascist views are being adopted and normalized

Thanks, good to hear from a local.

You mean they're getting airtime to voice their views?

Which fascist views are being adopted?
