That is embarrassing. Collective memory clearly isn’t a thing.
Lack of political education, an inhomogeneous mix of people in the east. And don’t forget – this map might be digital with black and blue but also in West areas AFD is at 20% and in the east other parties might be at 25% and AFD “only” at 30%. An additional point is absolute number of people to consider – in all of east Germany there are 12.6 m people vs. 68 m in the West. So also this might be a little bit deceiving.
Because you can’t erase over half a century of divided history. You can see that border on pretty much every data map of Germany.
Angry people vote fascist, if you’re angry and someone tells you you’re right to be angry you’re going to align with that person.
The East is in way worse condition than the west, they never were in the same level at time of the unification and didn’t catch up after it.
Many people think they got shafted and are angry, frustrated and disillusioned. That’s the demographic extremists are appealing do.
My friend residing in Germany advised me not to take admission into a university in East Germany, and rightfully so.
The east is getting shit on and nobody cares. There’s barely a few easterners in the parliament.
Eastern germany was occupied with the western Christian rules. Instead of improving life in the east people push those voters away to the Nazi arms.
It’s due to a mix of political frustration, economic struggles, and social factors. Many feel neglected by mainstream parties, see themselves as second-class citizens, and distrust political promises.
Lower wages, higher unemployment, and demographic decline fuel dissatisfaction and pushes them to vote anti establishment.
Last but not least, the AfD capitalizes on fears related to migration, crime, and social change. And they fall for it.
The people in the east are deplorable racist homophobic idiots.
The USSR fought intelligentsia, as educated and smart people were dangerous to the ruling regime.
Lack of smart people = lots of afd support. It’s basically like the film Idiocracy, believe it or not.
The money flows out of the east and into the west, leaving the east in a worse economic situation. People become angry, and direct it not at the economy, but at migrants
Economics and less traditional voters for the big old parties CDU/CSU and SPD.
Old map
Next to what others have said;
There are also quite some signs that point in the direction that the differences in the “denazification” between East and West are part of the problem.
The east and west went completely different paths in their handling of the situation after WWII. The East removed way more Nazis from office, but then declared basically that the East was Nazi free, as the ideology dictated that the qorking class would switch to communism out of the natural strength of the idea. The indoctrination that existed among the working class was not addressed, and because of the authoritarian regime, public discussions about the issues weren’t a thing. So while officially everyone was a communist, nothing much prevented the parents from indoctrinating their children in fascist ideology. Also, the GDR itself carried quite a few ideas over from the Nazis, making it easier for the people living in that system to keep these ideas alive.
In contrast to that, the West was more lax with removal of Nazis in office, and it took an emberessing long time to adress the elephant in the room. At the start, the west also tried to say that the culprits were dealt with during the Nuremburg trials, but this had not the same effect, as public discussions lead to the 68er movement and the open rebellion of the young against the parent generation. The start of public trials of all levels of Nazis also helped to emphasise that this was not just a leadership-issue, but that people from all parts of society were involved. This created a slow shift away from Nazi ideology, as parents were afraid of the scorn of their kids when they were too openly agreeing with Nazi ideology and even the risk that the child would be motivated to publically out the parents. Private indoctrination was more rare and difficult to do.
