    Why would they? They’re not voting for the AfD because they’re or aren’t Nazis. This is the same effect as Americans voting for Trump while the establishment was trying everything to paint him as a monster. Which he is. But it didn’t matter because the democratic system was offering these people smears instead of the governance they wanted. I think the same is happening here. In fact if there isn’t too much Nazi shit in these emails, this dump would launder the AfD’s image before their voters. E.g. “See they aren’t nearly as bad as they painted them as!”

      I know in a way you are correct, but voting for a far right party heavily sponsored by billionaires because being done with the establishment is certainly a choice… This where I draw the line of not giving these people the benefit of the doubt
