Precisely! Where do we see the highest percentages of AfD? Rural areas in Eastern Germany, which have been
a) hit hard by the economic shifts of reunification
b) have suffered from severe population drain because young people follow opportunity, and that does lie in the cities rather than in the countryside. c) hardly see any migrants due to a) and b), but are full of people willing to listen to a good scapegoat story that gives them somebody to hate for the conditions they live in.
